My name is Michelle Bashaw, and I am honored to serve as one of the co-principals here at Odyssey. Before joining this incredible community, I was a sixth-grade teacher, mathematics specialist, and lead teacher in Ellington Public Schools. My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (2012), a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction (2013), and a Sixth-Year Diploma in Educational Administration (2022), all from the University of Connecticut.
When I'm not at Odyssey, I love spending time with my two dogs, Lucy and Birdie, and my two cats, Mack and Teddy. You'll often find me playing or watching sports, and diving into creative projects.
At Odyssey, my goal is to build on our many strengths while fostering open communication and collaboration with students, families, community members, teachers, and staff. Together, we can identify areas for improvement and ensure that every student has equitable opportunities for success—a principle that has guided me throughout my career. I look forward to continuing this work with you all at Odyssey.
