    ROCKET AWARD
    Given to one 8th grade boy and/or one 8th grade girl in recognition of their athletic participation throughout their career at AACA.  These students show enthusiasm by trying multiple sports and dedication in attending countless practices.  These student-athletes represent the best of AACA Athletics and the spirit of "being a Rocket" both on and off the court.  Student athletes will receive an application in March - April to be nominated for this award.  The decision process is a compilation of input from multiple adults involved in the AACA Athletic program.

    Each student is presented with an individual plaque, and his and/or her name is added to the Rocket Award banner that hangs in the AACA gym.  2010 was the inaugural year for this award.
