Fall 2011 National Beta Club Tapping
Press Release for October 18, 2011
Four Hargrave Cadets were tapped this morning for the 2011 Fall Beta Club tapping. The National Beta Club promotes academic excellence, character, service and leadership among elementary and secondary school students. It rewards meritorious achievement and encourages students to continue in their education.
Induction into the National Beta Club requires that each student achieve and maintain a stringent set of criteria. At Hargrave, Cadets in grades 9-12 must be working towards an Advanced Studies Diploma, be involved in two extra-curricular activities, such as sports, band or clubs during the Academic year, and remain on either the President’s or Dean’s list for three six week periods. In addition, the Beta Club looks for strong leadership, character and excellent deportment in each candidate.
Hargrave’s 7th and 8th grade students must meet the same requirements as all other Beta Club members, but are excluded from the Advanced Studies Diploma track due to their age. Upon graduation, each Cadet will receive a special Beta Club seal on their diploma. They’re also eligible for National Beta Club scholarships. There are roughly five million current and former National Beta Club members.
During the ceremony, special introduction music was provided by Cadet Aiden White. The junior pledge was administered by Cadet Rafael Tudela. The senior pledge was administered by Cadet Daniel Jonus.
