Mrs. Milagros Maytin-Miret, principal of W. J. Bryan Elementary School, has had varied experiences during her 17 years as an educator that have made her highly qualified to be the educational leader at this school site.  Mrs. Maytin-Miret obtained her bachelor's degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education from Florida International University in 1991 and a master's degree from the same institution in Elementary Education in 1994.  Mrs. Maytin-Miret completed her leadership certification classes at Florida International University while in pursuit of a doctoral degree in Curriculum and Instruction / Instructional Leadership.  Mrs. Maytin-Miret completed all coursework towards this degree and completed oral and written comprehensive exams, but has yet to complete the doctoral dissertation.

Mrs. Maytin-Miret taught at the elementary level for seven years before leaving the classroom.  She worked with the Title I program as a teacher on special assignment for two years, ensuring that schools being Title I funded had the required compliance documentation.  Mrs. Maytin-Miret has been an administrator for Region II for the past nine years, four of which were at an elementary school and two were spent at the senior high school level.  She has been in charge of curriculum at both school sites and has worked arduously with teachers at each location to identify student needs and address deficiencies in order to increase student performance.  Mrs. Maytin-Miret's philosophy is that all children can learn, given the right circumstances.
