The Stanislaus County Office of Education (SCOE) and Modesto Subaru are pleased to announce that Lucas Ruppel from Enochs High School is the winner of the new Subaru Impreza.  On May 16, 2025, Modesto Subaru drove the car to Enochs High School, and SCOE’s Chief of Staff Jason Maggard announced the winning name during a student body assembly.

Ruppel and 99 contest finalists were in the final running to receive the car because of their consistent school attendance. The Every Day Counts Attendance Matters initiative raises awareness of the importance of daily school attendance, and offering a free car is an incentive for over 32,000 high school students in Stanislaus County to attend school every day.

To be entered into the contest, a student must have had at least one month of perfect attendance. Each month of perfect attendance, earned an additional opportunity for entry into the contest.  (Perfect attendance means that the student has attended all class periods of all school days within the calendar month of August 2024 through April 2025.) School districts entered student names and held drawings at their schools in May, submitting the allotted number of qualified students as finalists to SCOE on May 5.
