The well-known motto at a local school here in the Capital City is "Excellence in all things."

Laffitte has always had a passion for numbers, but he realizes not everyone is like him. As a math educator, Laffitte not only teaches the subject to hundreds of students each year, he also does it in a way that personalizes it to each student's individual needs.
"So I understand that a lot of students just don't grasp the concept when you are teaching 20-25 students at once, so I kind of take it to a one-on-one session. I go to their desk, I sit side by side with them. This one problem, this one number - it is easier than you think," Laffitte said.
