We are so happy to report that the CHS Beta Club was incredibly successful this weekend at Beta State Convention with 7 State Champions and a total of 23 national qualifiers. See the images below for all of our results. Our State Vice President candidate, Avery Criblez, had a tight race (with fantastic support from club members) but lost to a great Beta from Woodland. Our club's success would not be possible without hours of hard work by students and the support of sponsors, chaperones, administration, and our amazing faculty and staff at CHS.
