Cherokee High School is proud to announce that we are 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, less than half of all 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!”
“We are proud of how active and hardworking our Beta Club members are,” says Mr. Sells, one of the CHS Beta Club sponsors. “These are students who, on top of playing sports, having jobs, and maintaining a 95 average or higher, still manage to devote their free time every year to bettering our community through service projects. They are living proof that great things are happening at Cherokee and in Hawkins County.”
