Senior Emma Leonard of Boothbay, daughter of John and Donna Leonard, recently received the most improved player award in girls varsity basketball for her achievement during the winter trimester at the independent, character-based Hyde School in Bath.

“Whether playing for a championship or learning a brand new sport, Hyde's young athletes are tested daily on their work ethic, stamina, and ability to work together as a team,” Head of School Laura Gauld said of the recent athletic award winners. “These individuals are among the finest examples of athletic character at Hyde School.”
