National Beta is proud to announce Branford High School as a 2018-2019 National School of Distinction. This award is an honor for Beta Chapters 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 award those schools that show an increase in membership for the current school year.

BHS Principal Terry Huddleston says, "Branford High School is very honored to receive this special recognition from the National Bata Club. Our student continue to strive for excellence in all of their academic endeavors. I would also like to congratulate Mrs. Dawn Eakins, sponsor, for her diligence in mentoring these outstanding students."

Award recipients received a National Beta School of Distinction banner to proudly display as a symbol of their accomplishment. In addition, National Beta School of Distinction recipients will be publicized at the 2019 National Beta Convention in Oklahoma City, OK this June.

“This prestigious honor is a true indication of Branford High School’s dedication to academic excellence, leadership development and commitment to celebrating their student’s achievements,” said National Beta’s Chief Executive Officer, Bobby Hart.
