Junior Tatum Smith made her high school community proud as she represented Mount St. Mary Academy at the Citrus Bowl college football game in Orlando, Fla., on December 31, 2024. Tatum was one of 42 All-American mascots from across the country invited to perform during the event's halftime show.
This is Tatum's first school year to serve as Betty Belle, Mount's relatively new costumed mascot that debuted in December 2023. To learn more about her role and what led Tatum to becoming the symbol of Mount, check out this article, "Junior chosen as the new face of Mount St. Mary's Bette Belle," which was featured in the January 25 issue of Arkansas Catholic newspaper.
