Therefore, to be invited, 7th and 8th grade students must meet Crews’ criteria by earning a minimum of 94% average or higher for their classes in the previous academic school year. A report detailing student averages for the previous year is run at the beginning of the current school year to determine which students meet this criterion. Identified students will receive their invitations by mid-August via hard copy and student email. Once invitations are sent out, we will no longer be accepting new members for the 2026-2027 school year.  

Members of Jr. Beta Club perform service activities for our school and community and strive to promote excellence in the four Beta Pillars of: Academic Achievement, Leadership, Character and Service.  A minimum of 10 volunteer hours per school year are required to remain in good membership standing. While some volunteer opportunities may be club sponsored, members are responsible for ensuring they seek out their own volunteer opportunities as well.
