Cooper Clair
BY GRAYSON MILLER, ENN REPORTER
Cooper Chadwick Clair is a member of the 2026 senior class. He is the son of Chad and Lori-Moots Clair of Edina.
Throughout high school, Cooper’s favorite teachers were FACS teacher, Mrs. Keli Hutcheman, and Anatomy teacher, Mrs. Lorrie Ellison, because “they always encouraged me, whether in school or outside of it, and always cheered me on at sporting events.” During his time at Knox, Cooper was involved in football, basketball, baseball, track, National Honor Society (NHS) and Spanish Club. Cooper said he looks forward to getting away from where he grew up after graduation.
“Determined, intelligent and goofy” are three words that Cooper uses to describe himself. Cooper shared that his parents and professional athletes are the most influential people in his life, “my parents always support me, and watching pro athletes helps me improve in sports.” Outside of school, Cooper has enjoyed golfing, lifting weights at the Knox County Community Center and playing video games with his friends. His future plans are to attend college and obtain a degree in engineering.
In ten years, Cooper sees himself living in his own home, having a stable job, and potentially having kids.
