Elkton, Kentucky, May 2, 2022 – Todd County School District is proud to announce that Todd County Central High School and Todd County Middle School are 2021-2022 National Beta Schools of Distinction. The schools earned this recognition by increasing their 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 award those schools that show an increase in membership from the previous school year. This year, only 2,250 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.
TCCHS Beta Sponsor Lisa Petrie stated, “Todd County Schools is very proud of its Beta Club students; not only are they talented, hardworking students in the classroom, but they care about their school and community. Beta Club's motto is "Let Us Lead by Serving Others," and our students truly exemplify this motto.”
