William Brooks, a rising eleventh grader at Pinnacle Classical Academy, is the son of Derrick and Angela Brooks of Earl, N.C. He was named a CLC Junior Scholar because he was the top student in Pinnacle Classical Academy's 2022-23 Ethics, Economy, and Entrepreneurship class -- a dual-enrollment course offered in partnership with the Uni- versity of Arizona. Will's favorite classes are economics and math, and his extracurricular activities include soccer, basketball, baseball, and the Student Government Association. In addition, he plays the piano, drums, and the guitar, and sings and plays in his church's praise band. He plans to study business or en- gineering in college. Hannah Clontz, a rising eleventh grader at Pinnacle Classical Academy, is the daughter of Jason and Michelle Clontz of Ellenboro, N.C. She was named a CLC Junior Scholar because she was the top student in Pinnacle Classical Academy's Economics and Personal Finance class in 2022-23. She has worked as an intern with the Beam Construction Compa- ny and as a fourth-grade math tutor. She is in- terested in the arts, including photography, ar- chitecture, literature, and painting. She plans to major in general business or business man- agement and minor in photography in college. The students were named CLC Junior Scholars in honor of Dr. Michael C. Munger, the recipient of the inaugural John A. Allison IV Award, given annually by CLC and Pinnacle Classical Academy's Classical Foundations Program. Dr. Munger is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Philosophy, Pol- itics, and Economics Program at Duke Uni- versity. Brooks and Clontz were honored on August 4 at CLC's annual conference, as was Dr. Munger. "We are so proud of William and Hannah, and deeply grateful to CLC for recognizing our students' hard work," said Dr. Shelly Shope, the school's headmaster. Founded in 2013, Pinnacle Classical Acade- my is a tuition-free public charter school that attracts over 1,200 students from fi ve coun- ties. The 38 seniors of Pinnacle Classical Academy's class of 2023 were awarded a total of $7.3 million in four-year academic merit and athletic scholarship awards.
