Mt. Bethel Christian Academy will hold its inaugural Athletics Hall of Fame induction ceremony next Friday, May 12.
The first inductee is Roger Kaiser, who helped establish the school’s athletics program in 2003 and served as its first boys basketball coach.
The event takes place at 7:45 p.m. on Friday, May 12, following MBCA’s Baccalaureate ceremony in the library of the Lower and Middle Schools campus (4385 Lower Roswell Road).
The creation of the Athletics Hall of Fame comes as Mt. Bethel Christian marks its 25th anniversary.
Kaiser served in his dual roles at Mt. Bethel until his retirement in 2018.
Mt. Bethel Christian began its sports programs with the middle school grades, then expanded when the academy began high school classes in 2014.
The Upper Campus is located at 2509 Post Oak Tritt Road, where a new athletics complex is being built. After competing in a private Christian athletic association, Mt. Bethel’s varsity high school teams now participate in the Georgia High School Association.
Football teams were added at Mt. Bethel two years ago for fifth and sixth grade students, and in the current year two teams were formed with fourth-through-eighth grade students.
Kaiser is a former basketball star at Georgia Tech who also served as athletics director at Life University.
He is a member of the Georgia Tech, Life and West Georgia sports halls of fame and the Georgia and Indiana basketball halls of fame.
Those interested in attending the hall of fame ceremony are asked to RSVP@mtbethelchristian.org.
