Laurel Magnet School of the Arts Named National Beta School of Distinction
Laurel, MS, July 19, 2024 – Laurel School District is proud to announce that Laurel Magnet School of the Arts is a 2023-2024 National Beta School of Distinction. The school earned this recognition by increasing their clubâs 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 âThis national award speaks highly of your commitment to academic excellence and illustrates your dedication to preparing students for their future.â
Award recipients will receive a National Beta School of Distinction banner to proudly display as a symbol of their accomplishment.
