We acknowledge the growing desire among middle school population of homeschoolers in our community to gain access to the National Beta Club, a prestigious organization that recognizes and develops academic achievement, leadership, service, and character in young learners. In order to be considered for membership, homeschoolers will need to meet the following criteria: 6th - 8th grade who have a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
