Ace, the mascot of Smyrna High School, comes to work with Assistant Principal Mike Messerly daily.

His schedule consists of hanging out under Mr. Messerly’s desk, roaming the hallways and attending school events, like football games and graduations. Ace can chill at sporting events in his custom air conditioned dog house, donated by Craig Kuhnle and LP Building Products.

Ace recently celebrated his #gotchaday, the anniversary of his adoption, with a breakfast of doggie pancakes.

Ace was adopted from Bullies 2 the Rescue in North Carolina. Find more information on that group at bullies2therescue.com. What a story of success and triumph—from a caged puppy mill product to an official school mascot living on Bulldog Drive!
