Alton R-IV School District is proud to announce that Alton Schools is a 2025-2026 National Beta School of Distinction and Merit. The school earned the Distinction recognition by increasing their club’s membership by at least 10% from last year and the Merit recognition by offering National Beta to all eligible grades on their campus.
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 qualities in more students, the National Beta School of Distinction Award is designed to reward those schools that show an increase in membership for the current school year. This year, only 2,959 clubs across the country received this award.
The National Beta School of Merit award is given to honor a club’s dedication and commitment to academic excellence. To achieve this prestigious honor, a school must include members from all eligible grade levels in their Beta club. This year 6,103 clubs across the country received this award.
In a congratulatory letter to the school, Bobby Hart, CEO said “Thank you for your continued support of National Beta and commitment to developing future leaders!”
Lisa Thompson who is the high school Beta sponsor stated, “We are thrilled to receive these awards again this year. Beta is an important organization in our school district recognizing academic excellence, student character and leadership skills, and following the Beta motto, ‘Let Us Lead by Serving Others’.”

With more than 500,000 active members and 14,000 clubs 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 to school and community, and fosters leadership skills. National Elementary Beta includes grades 4-5, National Junior Beta includes grades 6-8 and National Senior Beta includes grades 9-12. Visit betaclub.org for more information.
