Our faculty, staff, and administration are extremely excited to continue this event for our school. This evening, remember that this is a FUNdraiser and we want you to have fun, first and foremost. Also, please keep in mind that ALL proceeds raised during tonight’s FUNdraiser go directly to our students in some form or fashion. Proceeds will be used to send students to state and national competitions, purchase tools and supplies for students, and for student incentives. The mission of the Advanced Career Education Center at Highland Springs is to provide a relevant and rigorous educational training experience for our students in order to prepare them to successfully transition to postsecondary education or gainful employment. The ACE Center at Highland Springs offers industry-standard certifications and college dual-enrollment options in many of our programs. This makes our students immediately marketable in the industry. The ACE Center’s commitment to excellence is evidenced by our students’ success at competitions, college acceptance, and certification pass rates.

We hope that tonight is a fun-filled event for you and we appreciate your support of our school. Thank you again and enjoy your evening.
