Joseph Caito’s impact on Akron’s schools is hard to overstate—he’s been a steady force for more than half a century. From the moon landing to today, Caito’s belief in structure, fairness, and caring for every student shaped generations. Even after officially retiring in 2005, he kept showing up for kids, helping schools tackle tough challenges and boosting achievement with creative ideas. Beyond the classroom, he’s a local sports icon, still officiating games and earning a spot in the Akron Baseball Hall of Fame. What do you think Akron schools will miss most about his old-school approach? #Education #Akron #Community
