Michelle "MJ" Johncock

About Michelle

Most recently teaching at the first recovery high school in the Carolinas, Michelle Johncock has a passion for helping others understand and grow to love mathematics. As such, she taught not only at the high school level while in Charlotte, but also at Central Piedmont Community College, where she prepared second-career adults reentering the educational arena. She also earned her taekwondo black belt and headed the mathematics department at Charlotte Preparatory School. 

Prior to moving to North Carolina, Johncock taught for 19 years at several elite private schools in Washington, D.C. and Annapolis, Maryland. From 2013 to 2016, Johncock served on the National Law Enforcement Memorial Museum’s Teacher Advisory Board. She was a 2007-2008 Fulbright Teacher’s Exchange Award recipient and taught eighth and ninth grade maths for one year in Sterkspruit, South Africa while completing her Master of Arts in Mathematics Education from George Washington University as a fellow with the American Association for the Advancement of Science FAME contingent. After 30 years away from Michigan, Johncock is thrilled to return to her home state with her family in her 26th year of teaching.
