Councilwoman Vivian Casáls-Muñoz , born in Miami and raised in Hialeah since the age of four, has always had pride in this great City. A product of the public school system in Hialeah, she attended Palm Springs Elementary, Hialeah Middle School and Hialeah High School.

Vivian has two children, Christopher, and Matthew.  Ironically, her parents moved to Hialeah from Kentucky because of the farms and cattle ranches that they were accustomed to. Councilwoman Casáls-Muñoz says “Growing up in Hialeah, my mother always said, ‘Once you’re in Hialeah you have no reason to leave, everything you want is here.’ She was right; I am still here and have no reason to leave. My parents raised their children and grandchildren here and I am hoping to follow in their footsteps.”
