She focuses on developing rigorous academic programs that address the “whole-child”, particularly students most at-risk of academic and social failure.

NSRHS is a specialized high school designed to meet the diverse academic and emotional needs of adolescents struggling with substance use and its co-occurring disorders. Michelle also started the icanhelp program, operated through Potential Connections LLC, to address the number of students who are unable to connect with a trusted community partner.
