Wyoming Seminary students are the Best & Brightest!

Winners of the Best & Brightest awards stand together on the Kirby Center stage immediately after the program.

On the evening of Tuesday, May 6, Wyoming Seminary students took home an amazing six Best & Brightest trophies out of the 14 prizes given at the annual Best & Brightest Awards Ceremony, held at the Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre.

Sponsored by the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader, The Best & Brightest awards honor the area's top high school seniors in 14 categories. Of all the nominees in each category, teams of judges make the difficult decision to narrow down the list to finalists who are honored at the ceremony. Wyoming Seminary students were named finalists in all but three of the 14 categories, winning six of them. Below are the names of the winners, with a link to their profiles on the Times Leader's Web site:

• Liz Bang, Art
• Jeffrey Kratz, Civics
• Ilya Volodarsky, Computers & Technology
• Sarah Vencloski, Foreign Language
• Diya Das, Math
• Rachel Ackerman, Music
