National A.C.E. Award

Overview

A.C.E. (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) of the Year honors students who have overcome adversity to graduate from high school and move their lives in positive directions. These students are often overlooked for their accomplishments and can serve as powerful examples to all students that hard work and perseverance do pay off. The award reflects the Exchange Club's values of celebrating resilience, perseverance, and the potential in every young person, especially those whose stories are rarely celebrated at continuation or alternative campuses.
