Dutch Fork high School students earned several awards at the South Carolina Division: Senior Beta State Convention.
National Beta State Convention allows students the opportunity to compete in various academic and STEM-based, virtual, and performing arts competitions.
The State Convention was held February 7 and 8 in Myrtle Beach. The victories at the state level provide an opportunity to compete at the national level. The National Convention will be held in Orlando, Florida this summer.
“As the Beta Club advisor at Dutch Fork High School, I’m deeply gratified by our students’ dedication and hard work, which led to placements in 23 categories and qualification for nationals,” Kelly Eckstron said. “Their success is a testament not only to their competitive spirit and desire to be lifelong learners but also to the unwavering support of their parents and the power of teamwork. This achievement reflects their commitment to excellence and leadership, which will serve them well beyond high school.”
