Michelle Lipinski
Presently the Director of the Northshore Recovery High School, Michelle began her career as a licensed Biology and Chemistry teacher. Her experience in the public school system lent her to work with all types of students from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Over a span of eight years, she realized she developed a significant relationship with those students most “at-risk” of academic and social failure. For the following eight years of her career, she focused on developing rigorous academic programs which address the “whole-child” needs of this population of students.

Prior to coming to the Northshore Recovery High School, Michelle was the Director of the Salem High School Alternative Program where, in addition to addressing the academic needs of her students, she assisted them in starting up their own business. Today, Michelle continues to engage students through workforce opportunities. She is currently aiding students at Northshore Recovery High School in the development of their own graphic and music design business. Recognized for her academic and experiential knowledge of at-risk youth, Michelle has and continues to speak at state wide and local conferences and workshops.
