I’m a NISD graduate and am proud to be working in this district. I have a bachelors in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from OLLU. I have a Masters in Reading from UTSA and a certification in administration from TAMUK.
My husband Jesse and I have 2 children who attend NISD schools. I enjoy reading, baking and playing with my dogs Haley and Sydney.
Parents thank you for partnering with us to make sure your students receive the best education. It’s my goal that all students receive individualized instruction, feel safe and want to come to school. Please reach out if I can be of assistance in any way Melissa.Lopez-Brouse@nisd.net

My name is Lauren Masters and I am going into my 8th year in education. This is my first year as an associate principal and I'm truly looking forward to making Michael Elementary my new home. Prior to joining the Michael family I was a first and second grade ESL teacher at McDermott Elementary. There I served as team leader and an instructional coach and support for new teachers.

I attended Texas State University- San Marcos, where I graduated with a bachelor of science in interdisciplinary studies with a certification in ESL education and support. I graduated with my masters in educational leadership from The University of San Antonio-Texas.

I'm looking forward to an incredible year at Michael, I can't wait to meet the students, families, and community that makes Michael the shining star that it is! My goal is that every child at Michael learns through hands-on engaging lessons that meets the scholar's needs and that the whole child is supported on a daily basis. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
