Before founding The Hunt Institute, Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. served a historic four terms as Governor of North Carolina (1977โ1985; 1993โ2001), building a national reputation as โthe education governor.โ
Through his early leadership on teacher pay, academic standards, and education reform, Governor Hunt helped shape the national conversation that led to the historic 1989 Charlottesville Education Summit, a bipartisan gathering of the nationโs governors focused on accountability, standards-based reform, and long-term educational improvement.
From launching Smart Start to advancing a vision that connected education to economic opportunity, Governor Huntโs leadership helped shape a national movement and ultimately inspired the creation of The Hunt Institute in 2001.
