Hello, my name is Michelle Basolo and I am very excited and proud to serve as the Assistant Principal of Lois Craig Elementary School. I am originally from Wisconsin where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I served as an elementary and middle school teacher and cheerleading coach in Wisconsin for ten years before I relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2003 to teach for the Clark County School District. Since that time, I have served the district as an EL teacher/strategist, first-grade teacher, project facilitator of a reading center, and learning strategist.  My life has been devoted to education and I know that through education many doors will open and barriers can be overcome.  

While teaching for CCSD I continued my education and received my administrative leadership certificate/endorsement and TESL (teaching English as a second language) endorsement. I am a lifelong learner and bring that very passion for education to my new role of Assistant Principal.  

My proudest accomplishment is being a mother of three wonderful adult children all products of the Clark County School District and a grandmother of two beautiful grandchildren.  Family is the foundation of my upbringing and I have carried that into my own personal joy of life. 

I believe children are the most important investment we can make in our future.  Each and every child deserves the opportunity to experience a school community that is dedicated to creating a learning environment that fosters a love of learning with caring adults.   I look forward to working alongside Principal Wyett and Assistant Principal Bergdoll as we move forward at Lois Craig.  

When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, extended family, and pets. We have two dogs- Chico Martinez a spirited chihuahua, Betty Boo a loving and devoted Pitbull, and one gray tabby, Bob Cat who is the neighborhood cat adored by all.
