National top scorer Kaylei John-Baptiste used her moment in the spotlight Thursday to challenge 149 fellow award recipients to view their academic achievements as a foundation for even greater success ahead.

According to Antigua Observer, the Baptist Academy of Antigua student delivered the charge at the 40th Annual National CSEC Awards Ceremony, held at the SJPC House of Restoration Ministries on Lauchland Benjamin Drive.

The milestone event marked four decades of recognising the country's highest-performing Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate students, bringing together honorees, educators, and supporters to celebrate scholastic excellence across Antigua and Barbuda.
