According to a press release from the conference, it was an atmosphere of jubilation in the board room of the church’s headquarters as the administration, directors and staff gathered to celebrate the achievements of the students.

Nuel Bancroft shared a three-way tie for the top spot in the 2022 National Grade Six Assessment Examinations, while Daniel Dowding earned 22 Grade ones and three Grade twos to cop one of the top spots in the 2022 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC).
