The (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) Award recognizes High School students who have made a dramatic change in attitude and/or performance in school or have overcome a great physical or social obstacle. The ACE Award is a positive program designed to help encourage students to overcome problems and obstacles while getting back on track toward a High School Diploma and beyond. The committee will coordinate with school counselors and honor up to three students with a special program and presentation of cash or merchandise awards.

Youth Awards
The Youth of the Month program provides a means to recognize and publicize the worthy achievements of upstanding, law-abiding young people. The project's principal objective is to provide proper incentives to our youth by recognizing leadership, scholarship, athletic ability, and industry. The Youth of the Month program culminates in April with a banquet (or reception) when we present a scholarship to the Youth of the Year winner from among the monthly winners. Students' last names are removed for their privacy.
