Grimsley High School and Weaver Academy graduate William Clontz is the best student in the nation when it comes to telecommunication cabling.
The 17-year-old competed in the Skills USA National Competition and won gold in that category. The cabling competition tests the students on their knowledge of data and voice connections and the logistics behind signal transmission.
Clontz’s plans for the future are to attend the University of Southern California and major in astronautical engineering. He says his grandpa got him interested in working with his hands and he took that passion and ran with it. He decided to major in this so he could say he is officially a “rocket scientist.”
