Fourteen students were recently inducted into the National Beta Club at William R. Davie STEM Academy. 

These students were selected for membership based on their academic standing and character and joined more than 500,000 members across the United States and beyond.

National Beta Club is the largest independent, non-profit, educational youth group in the United States.

Beta sponsor and counselor Delmeshia Jones led the ceremony highlighting the

club's purpose which is to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, leadership, and service. 

“I have known each of them, and I could proudly say that they worked so hard to maintain good grades and exemplary character,” Jones said. “Most of them are very active in extracurricular activities. They are role models to their peers. I am delighted that they were given an opportunity to join this educational youth group.”

Superintendent Eric Cunningham said, “The skills and opportunities that come from National Beta membership impact students during their time in school and as they move forward in life. We are proud of these new inductees and are excited to see how they grow as leaders and positively impact the world.”

Said principal Brian Biles: “I am very proud of our scholars despite our challenges in the past two years. They managed to maintain their academic standing and continue to strive for excellence. I am hoping that more students will join them in the future. I congratulate each one of them as they become members of one of the nation’s prestigious groups of scholars.”
