Meeting times are announced since there is not a set time. Meetings are held once a month or each grading period on the day after report cards go home to check service hours and review report cards.
Students must hold a 3.5 GPA, complete six service hours during each grading period, and have good behavior.
The purpose of the Beta Club is to promote the ideals of honesty, service, morality, ethical conduct, and leadership among middle school students; to reward meritorious achievement, and to encourage and assist students in continuing their education after high school.
In November sponsors and students attend the state convention at Gaylord Opryland Hotel. This takes place the week of Thanksgiving. The students are allowed to miss school and stay overnight.
