Rock County Public Schools

Rock County High School is recognizing students for the qualities that extend beyond the athletic field with the introduction of the A.C.E. Award, an honor designed to highlight outstanding Attitude,Character and Effort.
With the help of Mrs. Amanda Fischer, Rock County High School staff are using the award to give positive recognition to students who demonstrate exceptional qualities in the classroom, extracurricular activities and throughout the school community.

Each A.C.E. Award recipient receives a certificate, a coupon for four à la carte items, and a free pass to the front of the lunch line.

The October recipient is Lilly Pedersen-Arrowsmith. Lilly is a wonderful asset to our school community, consistently demonstrating a hard-working and resilient attitude. When partners are randomly selected in class, she is always willing to work with anyone without complaint or grumbling, helping to foster an inclusive environment. Academically, she utilizes strong critical thinking skills to deeply understand material and clearly articulate the reasons behind her answers. She manages her school time exceptionally well, ensuring her work is completed efficiently.

Throughout the day, Lilly is polite, positive, and directly contributes to an encouraging atmosphere in both band and choir. Even when she has to miss school, Lilly comes back focused, uses her class time perfectly, and gets right to work. It is incredibly inspiring to see her maintain her smile, positive attitude, and dedication to her education every single day. Keep up the amazing work, Lilly!
