Hinkle, who attends Mount Carmel Area Junior-Senior High School, will appear in the USAA's Official Yearbook, which is published nationally.
"Recognizing and supporting our youth is more important that ever before in America's history. Certainly, USAA winners should be congratulated and appreciated for their dedication to excellence and achievement," said Dr. George Stevens, founder of the USAA.
