Jacob Colwell is a black belt in Karate, a member of the Ada HS golf team, trumpeter in the band, on the gold winter guard team, and plans to enroll next fall at Ohio Northern in its mechanical engineering program.
He balances these extra-curricular activities while taking Calculus II at ONU, Physics for college credit plus, and a mix of other academic courses including French III, CAD III and Advanced Placement English. And, he carries a 4.0 grade point average.
