Spring athletes honored by Board of Education
On Wednesday, August 9, student-athletes who competed last spring and had qualified for state-level competition were honored by the Bethlehem Central Board of Education.
For the 2018-19 school year, the district’s athletics program was awarded the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) School of Excellence Award. The award is for a program where more than 90 percent of varsity athletic teams achieved Scholar-Athlete status, with team members having an academic average above 90%. Every BC team in spring 2019 — baseball, softball, boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, and boys and girls track and field — were named Scholar-Athlete teams by NYSPHSAA.
Congratulations to our student-athletes!
