Tony Greco is the principal of Fountain-Fort Carson High School and a longtime educator and school leader committed to building strong relationships, effective systems, and meaningful opportunities for students.

Before entering education, Tony earned All-American honors as a collegiate soccer player, competed professionally, and developed youth soccer programs throughout Kansas. Those experiences shaped his leadership approach, emphasizing teamwork, trust, accountability, and the importance of creating a shared sense of purpose.

Tony began his educational career as a teacher and coach before serving as a dean, assistant principal, and principal. He spent six years as principal of Carson Middle School, serving a highly mobile, military-connected community and working to ensure every student felt known, valued, and connected. He later returned to Fountain-Fort Carson High School, where he had previously taught and coached, to serve as principal.

Tony and his wife, Andrea, have been married for 25 years. Her constant encouragement and support have been foundational throughout his career. Together, they are the proud parents of two sons, Kellen and Cameron, who will both be attending college. As a parent, Tony understands personally the power of education to create opportunities, shape futures, and prepare young people for the next chapter of their lives. His family remains his foundation and continues to influence the way he leads, serves, and supports students and families.

His leadership philosophy is grounded in the simple commitment to Be Present—to listen, build relationships, remain engaged, and create school communities where students and staff feel supported, challenged, and prepared for their future.
