The Scholar Athlete Award rewarded the athletes for maintaining the highest GPA average during the season. In 2007, a student athlete was recognized in the local newspaper for her outstanding character in competitions.
In the year 2011, Bay Area Chinese Bible Church built a worship venue that includes a much awaited gymnasium that can also be used as an auditorium, dubbed the "Gymnatorium."

The volleyball, basketball, and badminton programs will be housed in this gym.
