Photo Credit: Bachelor Nation<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many fine classroom teachers also find themselves prominent in the public eye for their appearances on television. One of these is Michelle Anne Young, a former elementary school teacher who has appeared on both <em>The Bachelor<\/em> and <em>The Bachelorette<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle was born in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, on June 3, 1993. She was raised in the nearby town of Woodbury, where she attended public schools. As a high school student, Michelle was a star basketball player at Woodbury High. In fact, she was named the Most Valuable Player by the Minnesota Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Team, and she became a finalist for Minnesota’s Miss Basketball.<\/p>\n<p>After her high school graduation, Michelle attended Bradley University on an athletic scholarship. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Bradley in 2015. While there, she played Division 1 basketball and was named a\u00a0Two-Time First-Team MVC Scholar-Athlete.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle inaugurated her career as an educator when she accepted a position as a fourth grade teacher at Normandale Hills Elementary School in Bloomington, Minnesota. In her last teaching position, she taught fifth grade at Echo Park Elementary School in Burnsville, Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The popular teacher earned nationwide attention in 2021 for her appearances on reality television. During her appearances, Michelle shared her experiences teaching during the pandemic and during the protests following the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.\u00a0“I’m able to go to work and know that I’m making a difference,” she asserted. “Some days it doesn’t feel like that when you get home,” she continued. “It’s been a very difficult year for my students, especially my students of color,” she concluded.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Michelle appeared in the 25th season of the reality show\u00a0<em>The Bachelor<\/em>, where she rose to runner-up position. That same year, she became a contestant on the 18th season of the reality show\u00a0<em>The Bachelorette<\/em>. She also appeared on episodes of the talk shows\u00a0<em>Live with Kelly and Ryan<\/em>, <em>Entertainment Tonight<\/em>, three broadcasts of <em>Good Morning America<\/em>, and as a presenter at the <em>American Music Awards<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>After these appearances, which Michelle described as exhausting, she announced she was taking a break from the classroom for at least one year. But some day, she says, she may return to the profession.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former elementary school teacher Michelle Young has become prominent in the public eye for her appearances on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. <a href=\"https:\/\/chalkboardchampions.org\/michelle-young\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">→<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4],"tags":[14,15],"class_list":["post-12241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education","tag-african-american-teachers","tag-celebrity-teachers"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Teacher Michelle Young appears on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette - Chalkboard Champions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/chalkboardchampions.org\/michelle-young\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Teacher Michelle Young appears on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette - Chalkboard Champions\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Former elementary school teacher Michelle Young has become prominent in the public eye for her appearances on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.
