In the Heritage Hall Upper School, the crowning of the Pep Club Belle and Beau is always among the second semester highlights; this year was no different. The court consisted of 10 seniors – Belle candidates Sophie Beal, Izzy Burton, Lilly Roberson, Ella Roberts, and Sana Salamat; and Beau candidates Trey Alexander, Henry Evans, Jackson Jobe, Landon Lahodny, and Miles Perry. 

Nominated by fellow students, candidates are selected for excellence in and out of the classroom. This year’s group included students who participate in various national honor societies and academic clubs and who regularly appear on the academic honor roll and headmaster’s list. Equally impressive are the candidate’s many achievements in the arts, athletics, and service to their community. Suffice to say, these candidates earned their recognition. 

Despite all being worthy, only two could be crowned. Congratulations to the 2020 Belle and Beau – Lilly Roberson and Henry Evans. 

Following the announcement, Evans remarked, “I was super surprised and honored to be nominated alongside so many great people, so you can imagine my surprise at winning. The week leading up to the coronation and time spent with this group of people will always be one of my favorite senior year memories.”
