Douglas County school’s system is proud to announce that Lithia Spring High school is a 2024-2025 National Beta School of Distinction. The school earned this recognition by increasing their club’s 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 2,946 Beta Clubs across the country received this award.
In a congratulatory letter to the school, Bobby Hart, CEO said “This national award speaks highly of your commitment to academic excellence and illustrates your dedication to preparing students for their future.”
Award recipients will receive a National Beta School of Distinction banner to proudly display as a symbol of their accomplishment.
Ms. Lekkou, the school’s BETA club sponsor added: Every milestone is proof that your hard work, perseverance, and passion are leading you toward greatness. Keep pushing forward—this is just the beginning of your success story. Lion Pride is the team work that divides the effort and multiplies the effect, so many thanks to the awesome Lithia teachers who have supported our BETA club such as our co-sponsor Shelly Mitchell, Ms. Robin Thompson, Ms. Nicole Wynn, Ms. Carr, Dr. Napier, Dr. Elliot, Ms. Young-Kelly and many more caring and wonderful teachers that have inspired our young ones to join this club.
