Growing up in Central Arkansas, Jon Laffoon found his passion for science and education thanks to a teacher who left a lasting impression. Now, he's paying it forward, working to help students in his home state see their own potential.

Now, Laffoon has brought both his background in science and his personal investment in students to his superintendency. Leading Northwest Arkansas' Farmington Public Schools, he’s making sure his community knows not just about the district's great STEM programs, but also the care and concern his staff shows every student.
