Cary Academy celebrates 2020-2021 student-athlete Chargers
In a typical year, Cary Academy’s Athletic Department hosts three banquets — one for each athletic season — to celebrate and recognize the efforts and achievements of our student-athletes. This year, Athletic Director Kevin Jones chose to celebrate our Chargers with a massive celebration on the CA Quad, before their classmates, during the final day of Upper School classes.
And we had a lot to celebrate:
