Welcome

 

Growing from nothing more than an idea in 2003, the Trumbull Academic Challenge for Excellence (ACE) Foundation is much like a booster club for competitive academic teams throughout the town’s public schools.

It was originally conceived as a group to provide support to Trumbull High School students and teachers interested in going “above and beyond” activities traditionally available in the classroom. This included, e.g., the We the People, Federal Challenge, and Math teams and the Eagle’s Eye and Trillium publishing groups.

Since then, the Foundation’s board of directors broadened its charter so that it is able to provide its support to competitive academic teams with similar academic goals in Trumbull’s middle and elementary schools too.

In recent years, local and state funding has not fully supported the escalating needs and responsibilities placed on school districts throughout the country. Outside financial support for these increasing demands is now necessary more than ever.

Fortunately in Trumbull, the ACE Foundation has emerged as a major contributor of supplementary funding and other support to fuel competitive academic teams that provide their participating students with additional learning opportunities and greater intellectual stimulation as they apply their energies in competitions outside the Trumbull community.

We’re sure you will be as proud as we are of the academic teams’ activities and accomplishments, many of which are described in this website's Celebrating Accomplishments, Teams We Support, and Teams in the News sections as well as in the printed Trumbull Town Calendar produced by the ACE Foundation.

In addition, the Foundation has sponsored annual Recognition and Celebration Banquets the past three years for participants and family members of the THS teams. Upwards of 200 students, their families, and team advisors attended each year-end event, each of which has featured speakers to help celebrate the years’ successes as well as inspire underclassmen to build upon the teams’ legacies.

The ACE Foundation has provided financial and other assistance totaling more than $20,000 to 21 student different student groups since its inception in 2004. It has raised its revenue through sponsorship and sales income associated with its production of the Trumbull Town Calendar, involvement with the town's annual Summer Concert Series, and patron contributions.

There are additional programs like these that we hope the Foundation’s success may allow us to introduce for broader student participation and enhanced opportunities to develop intellectual and leadership skills in the future. Students have demonstrated their interest and teachers have shown their enthusiasm for additional resources so that together we can advance the academic mission of Trumbull’s public schools even more.

The possibilities are endless, the opportunities exciting. All together, these will provide enriched educational experiences for our students that are, in many ways, hard to even imagine today. The Foundation – and your active support – will provide a means to take Trumbull’s public schools to unprecedented levels … and that’s a very exciting prospect!

These activities enrich our community for the benefit of everyone.

We hope you'll demonstrate your support of the ACE Foundations efforts by joining our group of volunteers, purchasing the Trumbull Town Calendar, and/or making a patron contribution. We also hope you will show your support for our sponsors and thank our patrons who together have provided the means to produce the calendar and resource guide. Perhaps the photos of Trumbull sights will inspire you and your family to visit these places and events to enjoy the best of what Trumbull has to offer.

We are very proud of our students' past accomplishments and have faith that, with the type of support the ACE Foundation expects to provide, they will be outstanding in the future.
