Alexander Central High School was a recipient of the education-based athletics grant for the 2020-2021 school year. Completed in December of 2021, grant funds were directly used to help purchase new rubberized drop-proof flooring for the ACHS weight room. The implementation of new flooring eradicated safety hazards and allowed for larger training capacities. The material of the floor creates natural shock absorption for plyometrics and Olympic lift training thus reducing the risk of joint or ligament injuries in student-athletes. The weight room renovation is still ongoing, and ACHS plans to continue to expand and update its facility to give its student-athletes the best experiences possible.

The Clary Medal is made possible through the generosity of the Eddie and Jo Allison Smith Family Foundation and annually recognizes an outstanding male and female varsity student-athlete participating in varsity competition in at least two NCHSAA-sanctioned teams. The award is based on each individual’s excellence in athletic participation, extra-curricular activities, and community service, exhibiting a desire to excel in all areas of life – athletics, education, sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership, honesty, and integrity. The Wilburn Clary Medal was first awarded in 2006 and is dedicated to Wilburn Clary. Clary’s athletic career involved coaching, officiating, and administration. He coached several sports at the Methodist Children’s Home for almost 30 years, was an outstanding high school and collegiate official, and served as the executive secretary of the Western North Carolina High School Activities Association from 1949 until 1977 when the organization merged with the NCHSAA.
