Forms for joining Beta Club at PJHS will be included in each student's homeroom packets that will be sent home August 6, 2019.

What is Beta Club?

Beta Club is a club that honors students for their academic achievement, character, leadership and service. To be eligible for Beta Club, students must have all A’s & B’s. Students must also complete 20 service hours throughout the school year. PJHS Beta participates in state convention each year. The students have the option to attend a three-day field trip where they compete in numerous categories academically and creatively. PJHS Beta brings home awards each year!

How does a student join?

If the student meets the criteria above, he or she may join immediately. If a student has been a part of Beta in a previous year either at PJHS or at another school (including Daniel Pratt, PES, or PIS), he or she only needs to pay the school’s club fee of $20 to remain an active member. If the student has never been a part of Beta, he or she may join for the first time for $35 (school’s fee $20 + $15 National Fee). Fees must be paid no later than September 6. Please be sure to complete the attached form.
