    Beta Club is a national organization whose membership is open to students who maintain a 3.5 grade point average and who maintain worthy character, good mentality, credible achievement and commendable attitude.

  The organization's aim is to stimulate effort, reward achievement, promote those qualities of character that make for good citizenship, and to encourage and assist its members to continue their education after high school. 

    Beta Club is involved in many service projects this year.  These include volunteering at Mountain Makins, donating candy to the Boys and Girls Club for Halloween, collecting canned food items for Daily Bread, filling shoe boxes for "Operation Christmas Child", teacher appreciation, sponsoring a Callaway Child at Christmas.

 
    Applications for new members will be accepted through September 15th
for students in grades 10-12 who meet the requirements for membership. All dues must be paid by September 30.

    Regular attendance and participation in service projects are required to remain a member in good standing and receive special recognition during graduation ceremonies.
