Murray, KY 9/5/24 – Murray Independent is proud to announce that Murray High School is a 2023-2024 National Beta School of Merit and School of Distinction. The school earned these recognitions by offering National Beta to all eligible grades on their campus and increasing their club’s membership by at least ten percent from last year.
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, forty-nine percent of Beta Clubs across the country received this award.
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 twenty-two percent of Beta Clubs across the country received this award.
In a congratulatory letter to Murray High 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.”
“The MHS Beta Club is dedicated to service in the community, and I am so proud of how our Beta members represent our outstanding district. We are so excited to be recognized,” said Sarah Hultman, MHS Beta Club Sponsor.
