Promoting Academic Achievement, Character, Leadership and Service
The National Beta Club (often called "Beta Club" or simply "Beta") is an organization for 4th through 12th grade students in the United States. Its purpose is "to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, leadership and service among elementary and secondary school students.
Beta is an academic honors program with a strong emphasis on community service. It was founded in 1934 by Dr. John W. Harris, a Wofford College professor. Its motto is "Let Us Lead By Serving Others."
Traditionally, students are awarded membership based on their grades (GPA), or test scores and character traits. The Junior Division of The National Beta Club, begun in 1961, is for students in 4th through 8th grade. The Senior Division of Beta is for 9th through 12th graders.
HCA's Senior Beta Club recently won second place in the Group Talent Competition at the State Beta Convention in Louisville, KY. They have been invited to compete at the National Convention in New Orleans in June.
Our mission is to provide academic excellence based on Biblical principles. We are committed to equip each student intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually.
