Caldwell County Middle School Named National Beta School of Merit

PRINCETON, Ky. – Caldwell County Middle School has once again been recognized as a National Beta School of Merit, a distinction awarded to schools whose Beta Clubs demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence, leadership, and service.

The Junior Beta Club chapter at CCMS has earned this prestigious honor every year since 2021. The club is sponsored by advisors Chelsea Ardrey, Andrea Asher, and Melinda Smith.

“I am proud to sponsor the Beta Club and help inspire excellence, service, and achievement in our students,” said Mrs. Ardrey.

In a release announcing this year’s recognized chapters, National Beta CEO Bobby Hart stated, “Thank you for your continued support of National Beta and your commitment to developing future leaders!”

The CCMS Junior Beta Club chapter remains actively engaged both in the school and the community. Over the summer, a large group of students attended the Junior Beta Club National Convention in Orlando, Florida.

In addition to academic and leadership activities, the chapter is also giving back locally. This year, they are sponsoring the Black Patch Beauty Pageant during the upcoming Black Patch Festival.
