Andrew Norlien

Hello Excell Academy Family!
My name is Andrew Norlien and I am the Physical Education teacher this year!  I will also be teaching Health classes and collaborating the Athletic Director role with Ms. Kroma.  I received my Physical Education degree from Bethel University in 2008.  After working in a supervisory role at UPS after my undergrad, I decided to follow my true passion and go back to school for my masters and initial teaching license.  In 2014, I obtained my M.Ed. in Health and Physical Education at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities.  This is my 4th year teaching Physical Education and I am thrilled to be at Excell Academy!
I was born and raised in the Minneapolis area and currently live with my wife in Maple Grove.  Playing or watching sports has always been an interest of mine at a young age.  If there’s a Timberwolves or Vikings game on, you’ll probably find me near a television.  In my spare time I enjoy competing in men’s basketball leagues, going to the drive in movie, grilling out, running, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
At Excell Academy I agree to:
-Work tirelessly whenever I’m in the building
-Care for others and treat others with respect
-Respect the school and implement its core values
-Be responsible in my classes and my actions
Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have!
Thank you,
Andrew Norlien

Mary Zoubek

Hello!  My name is Ms. Zoubek and this is my fifth year as an ALD teacher at Excel. Born in Wisconsin, I am an enthusiastic Packer fan.  I completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science in 2008 and finished my master’s degree in TESOL in January 2017. I have taught English as a Foreign Language in both South Korea and Taiwan.  I have also completed a year with the Minnesota Reading Corps as a kindergarten-focused reading tutor. I love our students and am looking forward to helping them develop academic language. In my spare time, I enjoy tennis, biking, running, hiking, and any other activities related to being outdoors.
