First Lady Jill Biden Retires After 40 Years of Teaching

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After more than four decades dedicated to education, First Lady Jill Biden has announced her retirement from teaching. The decision marks the end of a long and passionate career that she continued even while serving as Second Lady and First Lady of the United States.

Biden taught her final class last week at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA), where she had been an instructor since 2009. During a virtual event with teachers from across the nation, she officially shared the news, reflecting warmly on her journey in the classroom.

“Sometimes it’s hard to walk away from a career you love,” Biden said. “Last Thursday, I taught my last class of the semester and my final class ever at Northern Virginia Community College. I will always love this profession.”
