HAMLET — Dozens of Richmond County middle school students have been inducted into the National Junior Beta Club, joining a nationwide organization that recognizes academic excellence and a commitment to service.
The National Junior Beta Club, founded in 1934, is one of the largest independent, nonprofit, educational youth organizations in the country. Membership is a prestigious honor reserved for students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, leadership, and a dedication to serving their schools and communities.
By joining Junior Beta, students commit to upholding the organization's principles of leadership, character, service, and achievement. Throughout the year, they will have opportunities to participate in community projects, leadership development events, and academic competitions.
