AN­GE­LO JE­DIDI­AH

Some­times, when you least ex­pect it—but con­tin­ue to work hard—the unimag­in­able can hap­pen. That’s ex­act­ly what hap­pened for 2026 Pres­i­dent’s Medal awardee Aliya Ser­rette of Bish­op Anstey High School and Trin­i­ty Col­lege East (BATCE).

The 19-year-old is one of two stu­dents to re­ceive the pres­ti­gious award for out­stand­ing na­tion­al per­for­mance in the Caribbean Ad­vanced Pro­fi­cien­cy Ex­am­i­na­tion (CAPE). The an­nounce­ment comes as BATCE cel­e­brates its 25th an­niver­sary.
