Dads on Duty

Hillcrest is looking for ways to help our parents/guardians feel more connected with the school and one way we are exploring to that end is starting a Dads on Duty type of group at Hillcrest. We would love to have parents/guardians join us to be a positive presence during our lunches because we believe lunch time might be the most convenient time for Dads to join us during the day and also the most conducive time for conversations and being present for our students. Interested parents/guardians are asked to fill out this form. We will reach out to those who are interested about the next steps. Our goal is to have some Dads on Duty beginning during our second semester.

ACE AWARDS

Nominations for the 2022 ACE Awards are now being accepted! The ACE Awards (Advocates for Character and Education) was created by Greg Blatt, Founder and Executive Director of Coaches 4 Character. It is an annual award given to one male and one female student from each of the Greenville County middle and high schools. The award is designed to honor true “unsung heroes” who all too often are not recognized for their accomplishments. The selection process focuses on identifying and selecting students who often go unnoticed for one reason or another, but who have accomplished great things in their community, church or school.

If you would like to nominate a Greenville County 8th or 12th grader, please submit your nomination through the attached link: www.coaches4character.com/ace-awards. (Paper nomination forms are available at each school as well.) All nominations must be submitted by January 31, 2022 An ACE Advisory Committee at each school will choose finalists from among those nominated to complete an application for the ACE Award. One male and one female will be chosen from each middle and high school in Greenville County.
