First lady Jill Biden will leave her teaching post in Northern Virginia after last semester

First lady Jill Biden has taught her final course at Northern Virginia Community College.

The longtime teacher announced she will be leaving her position at the community college at the end of this year, as reported Monday by USA TODAY.

“Last Thursday I taught my last class of the semester, and my last class ever at Northern Virginia Community College,” Biden said during a virtual thank you event for teachers. “I will always love this profession, which is why I continued to teach full-time while I was your first lady.”

This decision comes as she and President Biden prepare to leave the White House next month. The government of the Delaware Democrats must pave the way for the return of newly elected President Donald Trump on January 20, 2025.

The virtual address to teachers, as previously reported by USA TODAY, reflected her first official event as first lady. In 2021, she also spoke alongside National Education Association President Becky Pringle and American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten.

“I trust you know that you have left a legacy that will not end when you leave the people’s house,” Pringle said this time. “You keep working because I can tell you, for example, I will be in touch.”
