On Friday, Jan. 21, the Madison Academy Junior Beta Club held its annual banquet and induction ceremony.  This year’s festivities were held at the Lee First Baptist Church. Parents, grandparents, and students were treated to a delicious dinner while being entertained by the Madison County High School Jazz Nights.  Following the banquet, seven new members were inducted in a candle ceremony where current members lit candles to signify the character traits of leadership, citizenship, academics and service. 
The ceremony concluded with the new members taking the pledge and receiving their pins.  The Beta motto is, “Let us Lead by Serving Others” and as such members work on service projects to help the school and community throughout the year.   The sponsor of the Madison Academy Junior Beta Club is Willa Branham.     
The Madison Academy Junior Beta Club is an integral part of the National Beta Club and is governed by the same rules and policies.
The membership is comprised of sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. In order to be inducted into the Beta Club, a student must have an overall grade point average of 92%.  To remain a member, a student must maintain a 90% grade point average with no grade below a “B” in any academic class, as well as maintain an “S” in citizenship.
