May 18, 2022
SC Whitmore School (SCWS), a Columbia based virtual charter public high school and member school of the SC Public Charter School District, is proud to announce that SC Whitmore School is a 2021-2022 National Beta School of Merit. The school earned this recognition by offering National Beta to all eligible students on their campus. National Junior Beta includes grades 4-8 and National Senior Beta includes grades 9-12.
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, only 3,380 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!”
“It is such a pleasure to work with these talented students. Their commitment to serving their communities across the state is apparent in all that they do,” says Beta Club sponsor Dr. Josie White.
