Mr. Mark Polacek-Room 73

Background

I am excited to be starting my 3rd year at St. Vincent De Paul. I am a lifelong educator and have been teaching all levels of math for the past 36 years. I graduated from the University of Nebraska Wesleyan with a bachelor's degree in mathematics, then continued my education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and received a masters degree in mathematics. The last several years I have spent teaching in Millard Public schools at Millard South High School and Beadle Middle School.
