Membership
Membership consists of student in grades 9-12 who because of worthy character, good mentality, creditable achievement, and commendable attitude have been approved by the headmaster provided that these students meet the club’s academic requirement.
Academic Requirement
The scholastic requirements for membership are:

- Membership in the Honors Program.
- At least an 80 average for previous years in high school.
- No senior is inducted into the Beta Club because of the semester probation ruling which would make it possible for a senior to graduate as a Beta Club member with only having a 92 average for the first 2 nine weeks of school.
Loss of Membership
- Scholastic average falls below 90 and the student cannot raise it back to 90 in one semester.
- Cheating by giving or receiving answers. On the 1st offense the student will be suspended from Beta Club for 2 consecutive nine week grading periods and will have to reapply as a new member and meet all new membership requirements. On a 2nd offense the student will be permanently dropped from the Beta Club.
