It should be no surprise that very often remarkable educators branch out into other spheres of endeavor. Such is the case with veteran teacher Joseph E.  Miro.

Joseph Miro was born on July 15, 1946, in Matanzas, Cuba. He graduated in 1970 from Lincoln University, and immediately accepted a position in the Wilmington School District in Wilmington, Delaware. Later he transferred to the Christina School District, also in Wilmington. He completed his master’s degree at West Chester University in 1975. After a thirty year career, Joseph retired from the teaching profession in 2001.

Multitalented, Joseph was elected in 1998 to represent the 22nd District in the Delaware State House of Representatives, where he still serves. The Cuban American is a member of the legislative committees for education, appropriations, health and human development, and joint finance.
