âThis was Betaâs first virtual State Convention,â Beta Sponsor Terri Hutto said. âI am incredibly proud of our Betas for competing so well against all classifications of schools across the state of Texas. The students have put in hours of hard work and to qualify for national competition is extraordinary.â
