Mrs. Dobek
Middle School Teacher
My name is Melissa Dobek. I started here at Huron Academy in 2025! 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 in South Carolina. I taught for several years in South Carolina in an 8th grade Pre-Algebra II math class. My family and I 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 since 2005. Our 3 children are Mailee and Ashlyn, who are both at Oakland University. My youngest Carter, who is in high school at Romeo High 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 much joy and fulfillment to 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 grateful to be a part of the Huron Academy family!
