Over 300 secondary students, advisors, administrators, and board of education members joined together to recognize the outgoing BCSC Executive Board members, outstanding student council advisors, and special activity advisors.

Thaddeus Price, Milford Mill Academy, was named BCSC Advisor of the Year for his dedication and determination to improve the SGA in his school this past year.

A special highlight of the program was the awarding of two $1,000 BCSC scholarships to two deserving seniors.
