GEC Students Attend State Beta Convention
Nine members of the Greene Early College High School Beta Club attended the North Carolina Senior Beta State Convention in Greensboro, January 27-28. Beta is an educational youth organization in America to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, service and leadership among elementary and secondary school students. At Greene Early College, Beta members are required to maintain a 3.5 unweighted college and high school GPA.
Eighteen states across the nation host state conventions for the junior and senior divisions. Attendees of the Convention may compete in academic contests to quiz bowls to talent competition. Winners of these events have an opportunity to compete on the National level. The conventions offer an exciting opportunity for members to interact with other students from across the state as well showcase their academic and leadership skills.
GEC had two students who placed in the State competition. The winners for GEC were J’nyah Corbett, who received second place in Performing Arts Senior solo vocalist and Tyler Crawford, who received second place in 12th grade science.
Congratulations for an outstanding job.
GEC faculty sponsors/advisors for GEC Beta Club are math teachers Heather Davis and Maggie Kerner and history/economics/civics teacher Brittany Hood.
