“Enjoying Your Work Leads to Perfection” (Aristotle)
Our Story
Since 1985, Tonas Graphics has empowered educators with top-tier visual tools that support schools in communicating, motivating, and engaging their communities.
As the education landscape continues to evolve, so do we. In 2017, we refined our mission to equip teachers with the tools to educate, communicate, and inspire. This fresh approach led us to reintroduce ourselves as AGC Education under the guidance of CEO Chuck Scothon, former General Manager of Fisher-Price.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: Partnering with educators to impact students’ lives daily. We are dedicated to supporting the success of visual learners nationwide, ensuring that every classroom has the resources to inspire curiosity and foster understanding.
