V.I.C.A. stands for Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. Students first compete in this vocational-technical competition in the school. The winners of that go on to districts and the winners from there go on to regionals. The best vocational-technical students go to a national competition to compete for top honors in their chosen field. In the past, Delaware Valley has produced a national champion in the electrical department. The departments that compete are Electrical, Building Trades, Auto Shop, and Food Service.
