Paul Yowchuang, Norup International Principal

Welcome to my page at Norup International.  My name is Paul Yowchuang, and I am looking forward to the challenges ahead as we look to make Norup International School into the best school it can be.  We have great students. a great staff, and a wonderful community.  The 2023-24 school year is my 13th year as Norup's proud principal and my 27th in public education.

A little about me:   I grew up in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, and went on to Mount Pleasant to study at Central Michigan University, where I acquired degrees in Chemistry and Physics with a Mathematics minor.  My first year of teaching was at Dearborn Heights Annapolis HS and then I came to Berkley High School in the fall of 1998.  Berkley has been a wonderful place for me to work ever since.  I currently live in the city of Detroit (Rivertown neighborhood) in an Albert Kahn building.  I am a huge fan of soccer (Arsenal is by far and away my favorite club).
 
Some other things I have done in my career:

  • Taught mathematics and science for 8 years 
  • Was a part of the founding team for FIRST Robotics at BHS
  • Coached the boys and girls varsity cross country teams for six seasons
  • Coached the boys and girls varsity track and field teams for seven seasons, earning three OAA titles from 2005-07 on the girls side and two OAA titles from 2005-2006 on the boys side.  Our boys finished 4th in Oakland County and 13th in the state in 2005.
  • 4 years as the district athletic director
  • 4 years as a high school assistant principal (3 of which were concurrent with the athletic director position)

Please feel free to contact me at any time (although I prefer e-mail, any means is good).
