The hard work of one high school senior is paying off after he won a car Saturday for perfect attendance.Damonte Ranch High School student, Anthony Herd, was the winner of a new Honda Fit, thanks to the Bill Pearce Courtesy Honda dealership.

“It feels crazy,” Herd told Channel 2 News. “There’s just no words to explain it because I just didn’t know if I would win or not.”It’s all part of the “A Fit For Perfect Attendance” contest, sponsored by Channel 2 and Bill Pearce Honda. Eligible students completed the school year with perfect attendance.

The dealership tells us this contest has come a long way.”Before we started, there were about 20 kids that had perfect attendance,” said Sandy Raffealli, co-owner of Bill Pearce Courtesy Honda. “This year, we have about 136. So, we’re really excited about that. That’s a big increase.”

Anthony tells us it’s important to go to class. Otherwise, you miss out.”When you miss class, you have to make up things,” he said. “I’m a more hands-on person to school and stuff like that.”

After graduating from high school, Anthony says he wants to go into the Air Force and get into the integrated avionics field.
