Beta Club
Southwood Academy of the Arts has held a National Junior Beta Club chapter since 2012. The National Junior Beta Club (elementary/middle school) and National Beta Club (high school) work to promote the ideals of academic achievement, character, leadership, and service among elementary and secondary school students. This organization maintains four pillars:
