My Name is Jaron Cannon.

I was born right here in the beautiful city of Newberry, South Carolina. I am a product of Newberry County Schools. I attended Pomaria Elementary School, Garmany Elementary School, Mid Carolina Middle and High Schools. Teaching was always in the forefront of my aspirations.

While at Mid Carolina High School I was a member of the Teacher Cadet program. Teacher cadet program yielded a greater opportunity for me to pursue my aspirations of becoming a teacher. I was accepted in the second cohort of the nationally renowned "Call Me MISTER" program at Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Claflin University afforded numerous lifelong opportunities. One of the opportunities was becoming a member of the Delta Alpha chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. I completed my matriculation "On the hilltop high" December of 2006.

I immediately began to work at the same school in which, I did my student teaching in Orangeburg Consolidated School District 5. I obtained my first master's degree from Lesley University in Educational Technology in 2009. I obtained my second master's degree from Claflin University in General Studies in Teacher Leadership in 2010. I began my career at Sheridan Elementary School as a 5th grade Science teacher for 2 1/2 years. I was then placed at William J. Clark Middle School for from 2009-2015. There I participated in many things such as State Science Fair judge, SCOPE academy, classroom technology presenter, team leader, drop-out prevention instructor conference presenter at both the local, and state conferences. I also further my passion for at risk youth by also becoming a behavioral therapist through an organization called Carolina Therapeutic Services. I then returned to the elementary setting for 2 additional years before returning to teach in my hometown. This currently my third year here at the rocket looking forward to impacting my own community.
