Galesburg Exchange Club ACE Award to Chance Charles

A recent Galesburg High School graduate who plans to pursue a career as a pharmacist is being named the Galesburg Exchange Club's Accepting the Challenge of Excellence Award winner.


Chance Charles was recently named the recipient of the ACE award, which recognizes high school students who have made a dramatic change in their attitude and performance during their high school years. Charles plans to attend Carl Sandburg College, and later, Drake University.


Exchange clubs throughout the United States and Puerto Rico honor a young man or woman as their club's ACE, and the winners go on to compete for district and national awards.


The ACE Award accomplishes two objectives: it helps encourage students to overcome their hardships and get back on track toward a high school diploma, and recognizes students who are often overlooked for their accomplishments.
