New Leadership Development Awards and Teacher of the Year were among those awards given at the May 16 high school awards assembly.

The Leadership Development Program was implemented this year to recognize students who excel in mobilizing others to enrich the Bethany community.

For the teacher-of-the-year award, teachers are nominated by parents and students based on seven criteria that include teaching excellence, community and church involvement, and expressing care for individual students.
