Mr. Zamiar began his teaching career in 1989 while serving in the United States Air Force. His first class was teaching CPR and Emergency First Aid. Following his 10 year military career, Tony attended Concordia College and Wichita State University, where he graduated with Honors and an Elementary Teachers Certificate. His first job was teaching 5th grade. His success in the classroom and drive to do more, led him to an Assistant Principalship before moving with his family to Stuttgart, Germany. Following 8 years teaching in the Department of Defense Schools in Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern, Germany, he returned to the United States in 2008 to teach at Prairie Crossing Charter School.
Tony has been involved with many aspects of learning and development at PCCS, including membership on the Academic Excellence Committee, Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports team, the Crisis Intervention and Response Team, as well as acting as a New Teacher Mentor. Still wanting to make a greater impact on student learning, Tony applied to and was accepted to North Park University to study Educational Leadership. He graduated in 2013, again with Honors, and received his Type 75 School Administrators License. In 2014, he became the Dean of Faculty and Students.
