Greenville County Schools hosts the annual ACE Awards (Advocates for Character and Education) each spring. The ACE Awards, founded by Greg Blatt and Coaches4Character, recognize “Unsung Hero” students within the district. These students have exhibited strong character and valuing education.

ACE Awards are given to two 8th grade and 12th grade students from each middle and high school. The 2025 ACE Awards winners were celebrated April 23 during an exciting, invitation only program honoring their outstanding character, community service, and academic determination.

The ACE Awards event, hosted by the Greenville County Schools Foundation, is entirely funded through the generous support of sponsors. Every dollar contributed goes directly toward making this celebration possible for these deserving students.
