Several of the honorees won in multiple categories. Warwick Academy’s Zachary Myers won awards for performing arts and academic achievement, while Saltus’s Kayla Dowling was recognised for spiritual leadership and community service, and Berkeley Institute’s Lauren Geneveive won awards for performing arts and leadership.
