Picture
Mary Zapchenk has lived in Austin, TX for 17 years. Originally a Chicago native, she moved to Austin right after earning her degree in Music Education from Morehead State University in Kentucky. ​

Ms. Zapchenk started her teaching career at Crockett High School.  During this time, she received a master's degree in Educational Administration from Concordia University. She has spent the last ten years at Del Valle High School where she served as the percussion director, assisted with the marching band, and conducted the Symphonic Band. The band received multiple sweepstakes ratings. 

When Ms. Zapchenk is not teaching she enjoys CrossFit, yoga, reading, and traveling the world. She has been to over 40 countries and plans to add more each year.  She is extremely excited to join the Akins Band family!
