Calico Rock senior Beta Club/Beta members participate in state competition CALICO ROCK, Ark. – National Beta members from Calico Rock High School are celebrating their recent participation in Arkansas Senior Beta Virtual State Convention. Keeley Pool and Shelby Walters were winners in the color photography and agri-science categories, respectively. Typically, National Beta State conventions bring together students from across the state to compete in a variety of competitions ranging from academic and STEM-based to visual and performing arts. While the state convention, originally planned to be held in Hot Springs, was canceled for in-person competitions due to health and safety concerns stemming from the COVID-19, members worked hard while taking online tests and preparing competition submissions for their virtual convention.
