The Chapel School Welcomed Home Slam Dunk Star Max Pearce
The Chapel School welcomed home Alum Max Pearce (Class of 2010) for a dunk show and inspirational chat with current TCS students.
Bronxville, NY- On Wednesday, October 10, 2018, The Chapel School welcomed home Alum Max Pearce (Class of 2010) for a dunk show and inspirational chat with current TCS students. Special Guests included once and always Charger Coach and Max’s Dad Sheldon Pearce and Max’s Grandmother Lovely Billups. At just 6’0” tall, Max wowed internet audiences with his 48” vertical jumps. His talent and athleticism led him to win the 2018 Dark Horse Dunk Contest, which propelled him to the 2018 NCAA Dunkin’ Donuts Slam Dunk Contest ... where he was a semi-finalist.
After graduating from Tuckahoe High School in 2014, Max suited up for SUNY Fredonia his freshman year before transferring back to SUNY Purchase, where he finished his last 3 years of NCAA Basketball and earned a degree in business and finance. Max is a social media sensation who also started a business (appropriately called “Fly-nance”) to help young athletes to develop sturdy post-career backup plans ... while his own professional basketball career prepares for “take off”. Max’s talking points of hard work, perseverance, staying positive and trusting in God’s plans were as well received as his aeronautic acrobatics.
“Proud teachers and adoring fans wish Max all the best as he prepares for some huge upcoming opportunities,” stated Mr. Michael Schultz, Principal at The Chapel School. The excitement could be seen on all the faces of the students and teachers in the gym. According to one parent, “Our boys cannot stop talking about Max Pearce!!! What an amazing man he has grown into, since his days at Chapel. Proud to have our boys get to not only see his awesome dunking skills, but hear his inspiring words. Thanks to Max for spending time with the students today!”
