Ava Pyrtle, a 2026 graduate from Clayton High, will be attending Wake Forest University and majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies as a recipient of the Wake Forest Leadership and Character scholarship!
Leadership and Character scholarship at Wake Forest University provides a full scholarship and development opportunities for students who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, character, and service.
As the first JCPS student to receive this scholarship, Ava was excited not only by the honor itself, but also by the opportunities it offers. She will have the chance to do summer research, participate as an active scholar, and study abroad.
Good luck Ava!
