Our Accepting the Challenge of Excellence (ACE) awards breakfast is one of our favorites of the year, as we host students from all of our area schools who have been chosen by their advisers or teachers as students who have overcome major challenges in their lives to forge ahead and excel in school.

These are not your top honors students or average achievers. These are students who are almost always are under the radar of the school districts and have faced financial, physical or emotional challenges to reach their academic goals.

Pictured here are our 2015 ACE Award Winners.
