Accepting ACE Nominations

 

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.
