A love of the out-of-doors and rural living brought Michelle Rafalowski-Houseman, her husband Rob, and their daughters Hannah and Zoe to the Wolfeboro area in 1997. A desire to invest her professional energies in the community in which she lives brought her to Brewster in the fall of 2004. "I believe that students should be provided with multiple avenues to explore the world in which they live. Students should be able to bridge their personal experiences with those from class to make learning meaningful and real."

Ms. Rafalowski-Houseman previously taught biology for six years at Moultonborough Academy in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, where she also was the chair of the science department. Prior to teaching at Moultonborough, she taught science for ten years at Oyster River High School in Durham, New Hampshire. Ms. Rafalowski-Houseman has been a supervising teacher to student interns from the University of New Hampshire and Franklin Pierce College and has taught at Franklin Pierce College. She holds a current New Hampshire state certification in biology.
