MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona praised efforts in South Florida to help students during a local stop.
Cardona on Thursday visited William Turner Technical Arts High School and Skyway Elementary in Miami Gardens.
He was accompanied by U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., and Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jose Dotres.
They also participated in a roundtable discussion about a number of topics in education.
“I’m just proud to see the great work that’s happening here, in Miami-Dade and in Florida, supporting students and wrapping their arms around students,” he said, “not only in the mentorship program, which is amazing — I’d like to thank the congresswoman for that — but also, in the program I saw at the high school, at Turner Tech, where students have career options.”
Cardona was also named an honorary member of the 5000 Role Models mentoring program.
