About Our Honoree ...
As UAE’s first minister of state for foreign affairs, father of children who attended ACS, and member of our school board, we deeply recognize his invaluable service and commitment to our school and to the nation.

“Our father was very passionate about education, and always sought out the best for himself and for others." -- Saeed Ghobash (Honoree's Son)


“I was only in 2nd Grade, but what I remember about being at ACS was being happy” -- Maysoune Ghobash (Honoree's Daughter, Former ACS Student)

It is only fitting that H.E. Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, Cabinet Minister and Minister of Tolerance, will present the 2019 Community Leadership Award at the 2019 ACS Gala Evening. We are deeply grateful to the Ghobash family, who will be joining us on 8 March 2019 to accept this award at our 2019 Gala Evening on behalf of their father.

The ACS Community Leadership Award honors an individual and/or corporation who embodies ACS Core Values: Curiosity, Courage, Compassion and Integrity. This year’s honoree not only embodies our core values, but also exemplifies this year’s gala theme Together We are One….One School, One Community, One World, celebrating the harmony of 80 nations represented by our school community and our goal of empowering tomorrow's global citizens for a better world.
