Michele Hossack
Bachelor of Fine Arts, Salem State College

Mrs. Hossack came to Brewster during the summer of 2001 with husband Charlie, then the freshman team leader and history teacher. At the time, she had planned to move out of teaching but Mrs. Hossack was pursued by the Academic Support Programs department and before the end of the summer had joined the faculty.

“As an instructional support teacher, my goal is to help students become more successful learners. By helping them to understand their strengths and needs, they can better utilize their time and talents while learning to enjoy education.”

Prior to Brewster, Mrs. Hossack worked in educational and residential settings in Massachusetts. This included two years as a life skills coach for the Greater Newburyport Collaborative, four years working as a teacher in the resource room at Beverly High School, and one year as a permanent substitute for the Lawrence Public Schools. Her residential work includes being a case manager for North Shore ARC, a disability service organization, and a house manager/teen counselor for Health and Education Services, the large behavioral health network of Northeast Health Systems, Inc.

Mrs. Hossack is the community life parent in Hughes House and enjoys working with the drama group when she has time.

When not busy with her Brewster responsibilities, she enjoys trying to find free time! She loves to read, sew, braid rugs and try other long forgotten crafts. Most of her time is spent playing "duck, duck, goose" with Charlie, their children Abby and Jonathan, and their puppy Bucky.
