Beta Club

The Monroe Academy Beta Club consists of students in the freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior classes.  Students must achieve a specified number of points to gain membership.  These points are determined by the grades they make in both general studies and honor courses.  The grades are checked at the beginning of each semester.  A student will be placed on probation for one semester if points are not maintained.  A students will be dropped from membership after a semester on probation.  A student that has been dropped can reenter if points are brought up at any semester check.  The Beta Club members participate in projects during the year, such as refreshments for teachers at Christmas.  There is no fundraising, but Beta Club members do pay yearly dues to the club and once to the National Beta Club.  Beta members may attend the state and/or national convention.  The club elects officers in the fall.
