Biographical Note

James Baxter Hunt Jr. (1937- ) was Democratic governor of North Carolina, 1977-1985 and 1993-2001. Hunt has been a nationally recognized leader in education and has led his state through twenty years of economic change. He has particularly focused on early childhood development and improving the quality of teaching in America. His Smart Start program is a nonprofit, public-private partnership rooted in each of the state’s one hundred counties providing quality child care, health care, and family support for each child. It is funded primarily by the state but is also supported heavily by private corporations and individuals. Hunt has focused on new technologies by establishing the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, the Microelectronics Center of North Carolina, and the North Carolina Biotechnology Center.

In 1985, Hunt co-chaired with David Hamburg the "Committee of 50" which led to the Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy and eventually to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. He chaired that board for ten years, developing standards for what accomplished teachers in America need to know and be able to do plus assessments to board-certify them. Governor Hunt also founded and served for ten years as chairman of the National Commission on Teaching and America’s Future at Stanford University. Its report in 1996, What Matters Most: Teaching for America’s Future, stimulated major changes in teacher education programs and public policies that advance teaching. In higher education, he has served as chairman of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education located in San Jose, California. Governor Hunt has also served on the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and as Chairman of the National Education Goals Panel and Vice Chairman of the board of Achieve, Inc.

Governor Hunt has chaired the Boards of Directors of two institutes, which he founded in the University of North Carolina – the Hunt Institute for Educational Leadership and Policy in Chapel Hill and the Institute for Emerging Issues at N.C. State University in Raleigh.

Hunt holds B.A. and M.S. degrees from North Carolina State University, the J.D. degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and honorary degrees from over a dozen colleges and universities.

After he left the governorship, Hunt joined the law firm of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, in Raleigh. As of 2006, he and his wife, Carolyn, lived on their beef cattle farm in eastern North Carolina. They had four children and ten grandchildren.
