The A.C.E. (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) Award recognizes high school students who have had to overcome great physical, emotional, or social obstacles and are now eligible for high school graduation.

This positive program accomplishes two key objectives. First, it helps encourage students to overcome their hardships and get back on track toward a high school diploma. Second, the award recognizes those students who are often overlooked for their accomplishments. This special recognition serves as a powerful example to all students that hard work and perseverance really do pay.

Each month, Exchange Clubs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico honor a young man or woman as their club’s A.C.E. of the Month. These outstanding youth go on to compete for the Club A.C.E. of the Year, District A.C.E. of the Year, and, ultimately, the National A.C.E. of the Year Award.
