Mrs. Dobek

My name is Melissa Dobek.  This is my first year with Huron Academy! I was born and raised here in Michigan.  I graduated from Oakland University in 2004 with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Ed (K-8).   I got married and started teaching in 2005 down in South Carolina.  I taught for several years in South Carolina in an 8th grade math class.  We moved back to Michigan to raise our family and start a Chiropractic Business.   After raising our 3 kids and creating a successful business, I decided  to follow my heart and go back into teaching!

My husband and I have been married for 20 years. Our 3 children are Mailee, who is a freshman at Western Michigan College. Ashlyn, who is a senior at Eisenhower High School. Carter, who is an eighth grader at Romeo Middle School.  I have two dogs, Addie and Mabel.

While raising my kids and starting a chiropractic business, I tutored, substituted, was a paraprofessional and an administrator assistant.   I never stopped working with kids because they bring some much joy and fulfillment in my life!  I have always wanted to work and teach kids because I love making a difference in their lives and to create a world of love and acceptance in their lives.  I bring fun and creativity to my classroom.  I am so excited to become part of the Huron Academy family!
