Mr. Zerr
Hello and welcome!
I am excited to take on a leadership role in teaching your child at Oak Grove Middle School.
I am a western Kansas native and a graduate of Fort Hays State University (BS and MS) and Pittsburg State University (EdS).
My career of 38 years of teaching experiences were in Hiawatha, Pittsburg, Augusta, Park Hill and three here in Oak Grove.
I have extensive experience in the practical arts with a focus on science and engineering. I enjoy the application of technical equipment and science principles.
In addition to teaching I have had the honor of coaching and mentoring hundreds of students in various middle and high school after school leadership competitions. I have coached football, track with wrestling being my favorite sport to coach. Working with students to compete in TSA, Science Olympiad, and BEST Robotics at the local, state and national levels has been very rewarding. Their success continues to inspire me to be a better person and educator.
Travel, sports and similar hobbies are a part of my life. My wife, Donna, taught elementary children and was a high school principal for the past 18 years. Dr. Zerr is currently a professor at Pittsburg State University, Kansas University and educational instructor for Imagine Learning. Our adult children, Mariah (DNP), Riley (PA) and Cade(MBA) are PSU and KU graduates with advanced degrees in Medicine and Business.
