The National Beta Club, started in 1934, will celebrate its seventy-fifth anniversary in 2009. The Club is a leadership organization that is run by student members. Although the job of Sponsor/Advisor is a crucial one, the primary goal is to allow students to experience leadership. Students are selected on the basis of academic achievement (90 average), as well as citizenship and leadership qualities. Students at Carolina Christian who meet the standards for membership will be selected at the end of their freshman year.

The Beta Club motto is, “Let us lead by serving others.” What a fitting motto for a Christian school. Throughout the school year, Beta members will be helping with various projects that “serve others.” Their first project will be to assist the Student Body in preparing the Shoe Boxes to be delivered to Samaritan's Purse. On December 9, our Beta members will visit Emerald Ridge Nursing Home to distribute handmade Christmas cards to the 100+ members there.

The National Beta Club has scholarship opportunities as well as competitions in all subject areas at the National Beta Club Convention, usually held in Greensboro in February. As we grow our Club, we hope to be competitive in some of these areas.
