Mentoring students is a family affair. Dr. Michelle and her husband Brock were dedicated mentors to many San Jac students and athletes over the years.

One of the most important jobs in the world is that of a teacher. Dr. Michelle started at San Jac as an ESL teacher at North Campus in 2005 and worked as a full-time professor at Central campus for years.
