HHAI Technology Coordinator and Technology Teacher.
He was born and raised in Malyn, Ukraine and immigrated to the United States in 1992. Michael was a Math teacher prior to his emigration, and continued his teaching career after his arrival to the US. In addition to Math, Michael began teaching Technology. He developed a passion for using technology to discover family history, and put together various projects that encouraged his students to delve into their ancestors’ stories. Michael created a Holocaust-related project known as “Virtual Trip to Eastern Europe”, where students conduct research on their relatives’ Holocaust experience, and present them in a way that makes their stories come alive. This project evolved into creation of our school award-winning interactive Holocaust museum .
Over the past decade, Michael’s students have been selected to present their projects at various conferences and events around the world; thus ensuring that their ancestors’ legacies, memories, and unparalleled experiences live on.
