Mater Dolorosa Catholic School named national Beta School of Distinction

The Diocese of Baton Rouge proudly announced that Mater Dolorosa Catholic School (MDCS) is a 2021-2022 National Beta School of Distinction. MDCS earned this recognition by increasing its National Beta Club membership by at least 10% from last year.

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 values 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 year.

In a congratulatory letter to the school, CEO Bobby Hart said, "This national award speaks highly of your commitment to academic excellence and illustrates your dedication to preparing students for their future."

Mrs. Lolita, the Beta sponsor said, "I am very proud of the academic achievements of our students. I look forward to working with them next year. I expect the club to continue to grow."

With more than 500,000 members and 9,000 chapters nationally and internationally, National Beta has become the nation's largest independent, non-profit, educational youth organization. National Beta recognizes outstanding achievement, promotes character and social responsibility, encourages service involvement in school and community, and fosters leadership skills.
