Since the Covid 19 pandemic has restricted many face-to-face gatherings, North Carolina State Senior Beta Convention was held virtually March 9 in Greensboro. Greene Early College Juniors, Colin Corbitt and Maria Sanabria, participated in the event by competing virtually in various subject areas. In the statewide competition, Corbitt placed fifth in 11th grade Social Studies and Sanabria placed first in 11th grade Spanish.
