David Bell Youth of the Month / Youth of the Year
Our David Bell Youth of the Month/Year Awards recognizes hard-working DHHS seniors
who attain high levels of scholastic achievement, community involvement
and leadership. This proven program not only rewards outstanding young
people, but also provides an incentive for other youngsters to strive
for equally high levels of achievement. Each month from January till
graduation, we select one student who has shown academic and personal
excellence as our Youth of the Month. These students vie for the
Madison Exchange Club Youth of the Year, the Connecticut Youth of the
Year and ultimately, the prestigious National Youth of the Year Award.

A.C.E and Wally Cataldo Awards
ACE and Cataldo Youth Awards dinner at Cafe Allegre
The A.C.E. Award (Accepting the Challenge of Excellence) is given to a senior student who has had to overcome great physical, emotional or social obstacles and have qualified for graduation. The award recognizes those students who are often overlooked for their accomplishments. This recognition serves as a powerful example to all students that hard work and perseverance really do pay. The ACE Award winner may be submitted to the district competition. Winners at the district level have an opportunity to compete for the National ACE Award.
Named after a former Madison Exchange member with a special needs child, the Wally Cataldo Award is given annually to a student who has excelled in the special education program at DHHS and will pursue higher education after graduation.
