This local branch of the national marketing club has been in existence at the school since Jason was a student. Mr. Jerry Holt, a teacher at South Plantation when Jason was a student, has sponsored the club all of these years.

Through sponsorships from individuals and businesses like Chalik & Chalik, the students are able to travel to competitions to compete and bring home honors for themselves and their school.
