Mr. Tony Patiño began his career in the private school sector where he taught English at both St. Pius X Catholic High School and at The Lovett School. After having taught in private schools for 18 years, he made a decision to work with students in the public school sector. Having been a product of the public school system himself, he believed that the second half of his career should be spent working with students with the same experiences he had. Since joining GCPS in 2009, Mr. Patiño has been in several schools. He first taught Social Studies and Language Arts at Summeour Middle School. After three years, he transferred to Meadowcreek High School where he taught ninth grade Language Arts and led the School of Information Technology as part of their academies. He then moved to Nesbit Elementary School as an Administrative Intern and has been at Chesney Elementary since 2016 as the Assistant Principal for second grade, first grade, special areas, and Title I.

Mr. Patiño enjoys spending time with his daughter, Sula Ann, son, Walker, and dog, Bogey; discussing books; watching soccer; and camping.
