Hometown Hero of the Week
Hometown Hero of the Week: Jason Stone, July 30th, 2025
Our QDR Hometown Hero of the Week is Jason Stone, School Resource Officer at Apex Friendship High School.
Jason was nominated by Baxter Walker, who says, “Jason Stone is a School Resource Officer at Apex Friendship High School. Officer Stone had been a police officer with the Town of Apex for 26 years and a School Resource Officer for 18 of those years. His commitment to providing a safe environment for students is incredible. Officer Stone has an innate ability to connect with students and understands the importance of being approachable. Jason is also a dedicated husband and father of three incredible kids. Plus, he is an amazing guitar player and has played the National Anthem on the guitar at school sporting events. It’s all of these things that make Officer Jason Stone worthy of this week’s Hometown Hero. Baxter is proud to call Jason a friend and someone he will always look up to.”
Thank you, Jason, for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do!
