WALLACE-ROSE HILL HIGH Beta Club
12th grade
After a couple of years of not being able to meet, our Beta Club has flourished this year under the leadership of Club Sponsors Mrs. Brittany Knowles, Mrs. Betty Raynor, and Ms. Shannon Gehen. President Iris Gonzales has worked diligently to involve the club in several service projects and to rejuvenate the club after a two-year hiatus. The group sponsored a drive to collect blankets to distribute to local nursing homes. They also visited nursing homes at Thanksgiving. One of the highlights of the club’s year was winning first place in Quiz Bowl at the State Beta Club Convention. We also had an individual member place fourth in Black and White Photography. This qualifies us to compete in these categories at the National Beta Club Convention this summer. As a whole, our school is so proud of the accomplishments of this group. Although we often make the news for our athletic prowess, this was an opportunity to showcase the intellectual talents of our students. Principal Jenkins stated, “Here at Wallace-Rose Hill, we are excited about the academic achievements of our students and are beyond excited about the opportunity for our Beta Club to compete nationally in Nashville, Tennessee this summer. GO DOGS!”

One of the things that makes WRH special is football, especially when we beat East Duplin. Another is Coach Motsinger! Coach Mot is my role model. He has taught me a lot about life and being a man. He has given me a father figure and someone to strive to be. Mrs. Davis is pretty cool too! My favorite class is 4th period when I have my internship. After high school, I’m going into the Air Force.

The students and staff are what make Wallace-Rose Hill so special to me. The staff here truly cares. Our teachers in the AG department, Mr. Stampe and Ms. Outlaw are always there to help and support students. They have truly been a huge part of my academic development. Throughout my high school years, I have become increasingly involved in FFA. This summer, I will have the chance to attend the Washington Leadership Conference on a full scholarship from NC FFA. After high school, I hope to attend NC State University and earn a degree in Agribusiness. I plan to go on to law school after and practice Ag Law. Agriculture and environmental policy is something I have become very passionate about. I hope I can use my career to help people and truly make a difference. My role model is my mother. I have never seen her not step up to help those in need. She truly has the biggest heart. I hope I am the type of person she is and make the impact on others that she has.
