The Bahamas Academy Alumni Weekend 2026 brought former students, educators, and friends together October 30 through November 1 under the theme, “Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future.” The celebration opened Friday with an online worship service. South Bahamas Conference President Pastor Kenny Deveaux offered greetings and officially declared the weekend open. Educator and 2011 alumna Natala Mackey provided special music.

Featured speaker Pastor Dr. Keith Albury reflected on God’s faithfulness through lessons from David’s life in the Psalms. He also thanked the teachers who helped shape his character. Sharing Alex Haley’s illustration of a turtle on a fence post, Albury reminded viewers that someone had to lift it there—just as others helped them along the way.

On Sabbath, the celebration moved to Berea Seventh-day Adventist Church. A Sabbath School forum brought former principals together to share memories, challenges, and experiences from their years of service. Former student Pastor Kareem Black delivered the Sabbath message, urging alumni to give back to the school that helped shape their lives and invest in the next generation.

The weekend culminated Sunday, November 1, with a luncheon recognizing 24 honorees – alumni and supporters of Bahamas Academy. The gathering provided an opportunity to celebrate their contributions and reflect on the people behind Bahamas Academy’s enduring legacy. These individuals were awarded for their consistent contributions over the years towards Bahamas Academy, through their time, finances, and labour.

From worship to fellowship and recognition, the weekend connected gratitude for the past with a shared responsibility to help shape the school’s future.
