On Monday, May 2, we were joined by Jonathan Cluck ’72 as our Alumni Monday speaker.

Jonathan is a 5^th-generation Texan who received a bachelor's degree from Baylor University and a law degree from St. Mary's University School of Law. He currently practices law focusing on general business matters, with a focus on business litigation, real estate litigation, and estate litigation.
 

During his time as an Academy student, the school moved from the old campus on North Flores, to the current location on East French Place. Jonathan shared an interesting perspective in that he was able to tell our boys what life was like on both campuses.

He also spoke on our virtuous word of the week (optimism) and what he learned at SAA that has made a difference in his life. He listed five things (in this order):

1. Honor
2. Character
3. Integrity
4. Respect
5. Loyalty

“When I see a young man wearing an Academy t-shirt, I expect him to have the same values that I have,” said Jonathan. “I expect him to look at me and have the same values that you all are learning.”
