James Kenan High School announced as National Beta School of Merit

Duplin County Schools is proud to announce that James Kenan High School is a 2021-2022 National Beta School of Merit and a 2021-2022 National Beta School of Distinction!

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

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 award those schools that show an increase in membership from the previous school year. James Kenan earned this recognition by increasing their club’s membership by at least 10% from last year. Only 2,250 Beta Clubs across the country received this award this year.

Congratulations, Tigers!
