What Are the PACE Awards?
The PACE Awards are an opportunity to honor and celebrate students who demonstrate the importance of good character.
For the Spokane Valley Awards, one student from each of the 54 schools (K-12) partnering with PACE in the Spokane Valley, Freeman and Tekoa districts is selected to represent their school at the annual PACE Awards. In our West Plains Chapter, students from Cheney, Harrington, Davenport, and Medical Lake schools are selected to be honored.
It is a difficult decision for our schools to select just one student from so many who model good character every day. Selected students are recognized and celebrated for consistently demonstrating exceptional character, and students bringing character to light for themselves, their classmates, their schools and community.
