Two named High School Heisman winners at ACHS

Anderson County High School seniors leave it all on the field and become school winners in Wendy’s High School Heisman

There are some students who set the bar. They work harder, show more passion and lead by example — in the classroom, on the field and within the community. Today, Wendy’s High School Heisman recognizes Bailey Moore and Thomas Sexton from Anderson County High School and their dedication to never cutting corners by naming them School Winners.

“These students are known by their teachers and friends for their commitment to excellence. We are excited and honored that a program like Wendy’s High School Heisman is also recognizing their hard work,” said Ben Downs, ACHS Principal.

Since 1994, Wendy’s and the Heisman Trophy Trust have been running the same play to perfection: honoring more than 600,000 of the nation’s most esteemed students. This year, Wendy’s will celebrate the accomplishments of thousands of the best high school seniors, awarding winners in five phases.

School Winners will receive a School Winner certificate and a Wendy’s High School Heisman Patch. State Finalists will receive a bronze medal, a Wendy’s High School Heisman State Finalist patch and a $25 gift card. From the group of State Finalists announced Oct. 18, 2017, one senior male and female were selected from each state and announced as State Winners on Oct. 19, 2017.
