City of Little Rock Honors Jeopardy Teen Tournament Champion Leonard Cooper Tonight

What: Leonard Cooper Recognized by City Leaders

When: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 – 6:00 p.m.

Where: Board of Directors Chambers – 2^nd Floor City Hall 500 W. Markham St.

Answer: “He has become one of the most celebrated contestants on Jeopardy ever and is hailed as the gutsiest teen in America today.”

Question: “Who is Little Rock’s own Leonard Cooper”

This 17 year old e-Stem Senior has taken the world by storm with his amazing intellect and matching style. City leaders will recognize Cooper for his accomplishments at the Board of Directors meeting tonight at 6:00 p.m.

Cooper recently competed in the 2013 Jeopardy Teen Tournament. He won with a memorable final Jeopardy moment that has become an internet sensation. He’s been on the Today Show, written up in national publications and is the subject of many blogs.

With an SAT score of 2180 and 10 A-P courses under his belt Cooper is clearly more than an adventurous young man who created a unique TV moment. He will obviously be a great representative of our City as he ventures out into the world.
