On March 29, 2003 at the 8th Annual National Students Against Violence Everywhere (S.A.V.E.) Summit, the National Association of S.A.V.E. and their national sponsor, Chevrolet recognized Deputy Hilton Best, Hunt High School Resource Officer, as S.A.V.E. Advisor of the Year. Thanks to a generous donation from Chevrolet, through their community initiative, Chevy R.O.C.K. (Reaching Out to Communities and Kids), Deputy Best received a plaque and a monetary award of $250.

Deputy Best has been serving as the S.A.V.E. advisor for seven years, this year marks the last year he will be serving as he is retiring from law enforcement. He has served in law enforcement for 30 years, and has truly made a difference in the school and community. By focusing on crime prevention, conflict management and engaging his chapter in countless service projects he has touched countless lives by focusing on the ideals of S.A.V.E.. He has dedicated himself to the student body at Hunt by not only keeping a close watch on the students but unlike most teachers, the students confide in him and look at him as not only an advisor, but a friend!

"I think Officer Best should be the advisor of the year because he does everything he can do to help spread the message of S.A.V.E. Since I have been President of the chapter, he has helped us succeed in our accomplishments. He has stayed countless hours after school preparing for fundraisers and service projects, " said Mary Catherine Tee, chapter president.
