Monroe County Middle School Named National Beta School of Merit
Forsyth, GA – Monroe County Schools is proud to announce that Monroe County Middle School is a 2023-2024 National Beta School of Merit. The school earned this recognition by offering National Beta to all eligible grades on their campus.
The National Beta School of Merit award is given to honor a club’s dedication and commitment to academic excellence. To achieve this prestigious honor, a school must include members from all eligible grade levels in their Beta club. This year, 49% of Beta Clubs across the country received this award.
In a congratulatory letter to the school, Bobby Hart, CEO said “Thank you for your continued support of National Beta and commitment to developing future leaders!”
Locally, we are fortunate to have Stephanie Stephens as the Jr. Beta sponsor at MCMS. She attributes this recognition to the students saying, “It is through the dedication of every single student that we were able to accomplish this award this year. From participating at the state and national convention to giving back to the community, each member has given selflessly and made it an honor to be the sponsor.”
