The senior Beta Club of DeKalb County High School attended the state convention on November 30 through December 2, 2014. The event was held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, TN. Thirty-nine students with their sponsors, Mrs. Debi DePriest and Mrs. Melissa Ruch joined schools from across the state to compete in a wide range of academic and non-academic contests.
The club did not come home empty handed! Lydia Trail, senior, won second place in the area of English. She was invited to compete in the national convention which will be held in June. “The students were some of the best we have ever had the privilege of taking to the convention. Their behavior and character were exemplary. We were thrilled to represent DeKalb County with such a fine group of young people,” replied Debi DePriest.
