National Beta is proud to announce Highland School District as a 2023-2024 National District of Distinction. This award is given to those deserving districts who offer National Beta in all schools in their district, and who induct qualifying students in all eligible grades (4‐12). Highland is one of only 64 districts to receive this award nationwide.
We are very proud to receive this distinction. It speaks highly of our commitment to excellence, leadership development, and service involvement and illustrates our dedication to preparing students for college and career readiness. Our district understands the importance of these qualities and exemplifies the Beta motto, Let Us Lead by Serving Others.
We are #rebelproud
