NATIONAL BETA CLUB SCHOLARS FOUND IN ELKMONT




The national Beta Club recently announced that Anna Grace Usery and Will Maples have been named Beta Scholars which entitles them to a scholarship award of $1000 each.  Usery and Maples, both seniors at Elkmont High School, competed against more than a thousand candidates nationwide for the honor.

Anna Grace is the daughter of Mary Lynn and Jerry Usery.  She plans to attend the University of North Alabama and major in journalism.

Will Maples  is the son of Melanie and Thomas Maples.  Will has chosen to become a Razorback and will be attended the University of Arkansas this fall majoring in agricultural economics.  Both were recommended by their sponsor, Linda Schmidt, and high school principal, Mickey Glass.

"These outstanding young people represent the true spirit of National Beta, having excelled not only academically, but in leadership and service to school and community as well," said Ken Cline, executive director of the National Beta Club.
