Established 2024

Jeff Wilson worked his entire teaching career (1975-2008) at Arlington Local Schools, where he taught ag education, general science and vet science. He was passionate about helping all students find their own personal skills and talents and was an example of positivity and a great work ethic. Jeff loved his job, greatly enjoyed seeing students and staff daily, and encouraged his students through many projects, academic studies, and personal challenges.

Jeff was known to help students and the community with tractor restorations and engine repairs and often jumped in to lend a hand with chores at his students' family homes. FFA activities, banquets, and Arlington Young Farmers events were additional highlights of his work at Arlington School, and he cherished the many friends he made along the way.

This fund, established in Jeff's memory, will support improving educational opportunities and experiences for students in the Arlington Local Schools industrial arts and agricultural science programs.
