Lexington-Richland School District Five students earned numerous awards at the South Carolina Division: Senior Beta State Convention.
National Beta State Convention allows students the opportunity to compete in various academic and STEM-based, virtual, and performing arts competitions. State Convention was offered as a hybrid event. This gave students the opportunity to compete either virtually or onsite at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina depending on their level of comfort. These victories at the state level provide an opportunity to compete at the national level.
