Paris, TN. –National Beta members from Henry County High School are celebrating their recent participation in the TN Regional Leadership Summit. The officers were announced as qualifiers of the following challenge: Collaboration Connection.
This is the first year Henry County High School has had a BETA Club and they already have 114 members.
National Beta Regional Leadership Summits bring together students from multiple states for 1–2-day events. During that time, students work with interactive speakers who engage members through introspective exercises and team-building activities. Clubs can also participate in team-based leadership challenges which test their communication, critical thinking, creativity, presentation, and collaboration skills. Their victory at this level provides the opportunity to compete at the national level. The National Convention will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN June 16-20, 2026.
The 2025–2026 Henry County High School Beta Club officers would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make this trip possible: Joe Mahan Ford, Inc., Dairy Delight, Dr. Watkins and the Henry County School Board, the administrators of E.W. Grove, and the administrators of Henry County High School. Your generosity, support, and investment in our students are truly appreciated.
Throughout the year, our members have been actively involved in a variety of service projects, including a shoe drive, a canned food drive during National Beta Week to help fill local food pantries, and several other service initiatives that support our school and community. Our students are learning the value of leadership, service, and giving back, and your support helps make these opportunities possible. To keep up with these phenomenal students, be sure to follow us on our Social Media accounts: Facebook- HCHS Beta Club and Instagram- betahchs.
