The Malvern School District is proud to congratulate Malvern High School student Rachel Newton on being named a National Beta Scholarship recipient, an honor awarded to only a small number of exceptional students nationwide through the National Beta Club!
Rachel has served Malvern’s Beta programs with distinction, including her role as a Beta State Leadership Ambassador, along with many leadership positions in our local Beta Clubs. Beta sponsor Ms. Brenda Rush stated, "Rachel’s dedication and commitment to our Malvern Beta Clubs are key reasons for our clubs’ success throughout her years of membership."
Her leadership, service, and consistency exemplify what it means to be a Beta member and a Malvern Leopard. Rachel’s impact will be felt long after her time in the program, and this recognition is well deserved!
