Vidalia City Schools is proud to announce that Vidalia High School is a 2023-2024 National Beta School of Distinction. The school earned this recognition by increasing its club’s membership by at least 10% from last year.
National Beta School of Distinction is an honor for Beta clubs striving towards academic achievement, exemplary character, demonstrated leadership, and service to others. With an ongoing quest to instill these qualities in more students, the National Beta School of Distinction Award is designed to reward those schools that show an increase in membership for the current school year. This year, only 22% of Beta Clubs across the country received this award.
In a congratulatory letter to the school, Bobby Hart, CEO, said, “This national award speaks highly of your commitment to academic excellence and illustrates your dedication to preparing students for their future.”
Award recipients will receive a National Beta School of Distinction banner to proudly display as a symbol of their accomplishment.
Beta Club Co-Sponsor Elissa Blount remarked, 'We are honored to receive the National Beta School of Distinction award. This recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our students at Vidalia High School, reflecting their commitment and enthusiasm that have driven the growth in Beta Club enrollment.'
