On today’s Podcast for “Talk Time” we talked about Trey Whitfield Day. Trey Whitfield Day is a day the whole school pay their respect to the school’s founder’s Janie C. Whitney and A.B. Whitfield. The school was originally known as Bethlehem Baptist Academy when it opened, but changed its name when the founders’ son Trey Whitfield died in a boating accident while he was a senior attending Brewster Academy. The name change is seen as a tribute to their son who was considered an all-around good person.
