This week's very special guest is the US Secretary for Education, Dr. Miguel Cardona. Secretary Cardona is one of three children, whose grandparents moved from Puerto Rico in the 1960s for better opportunities in the mainland United States. That experience, and his bicultural upbringing, have helped shape Secretary Cardona's passion to serve all students and improve their opportunities for success.
Secretary Cardona began his career as a fourth-grade teacher at Israel Putnam Elementary School in Meriden Connecticut. In 2003, at the age of twenty-seven, he was named principal of Meriden's Hanover School, making him the youngest principal in Connecticut. In 2019, Governor Ned Lamont appointed him as commissioner of education, the first Latino to hold the position. During his tenure, he helped oversee state schools' response to the COVID-19 pandemic, where he expressed concerns over the long-term mental health impacts of remote education on students. In March 2021, Secretary Cardona joined President Biden’s cabinet as the 12th US Secretary for Education.
Secretary Cardona's focus throughout his career has been on raising the bar for equity and excellence in education for all learners. This focus guides his leadership of the U.S. Department of Education, in service of the nation's 65 million students, ranging from pre-kindergarten to adult learners.
