Meet Our Leadership Team
Meet Excel Principal Dan Bartels
In addition to leading a school that provides students with a college-prep education, Dan Bartels is proud of Excel’s Moral Focus program that helps students develop the knowledge, skills, and strength they need to succeed in college, work, and life. It’s an environment that has served thousands of children well, along with his own children, and one he hopes will do the same for his grandchildren one day.Meet the Principal

"I value the Moral Focus curriculum and I think the leadership has demonstrated a commitment to supporting every child. My 6th grader has had teachers who were clearly seeking connection and were positive role models."
