Zack "Zack-Attack" Mooneyham is a student at Horace Green Prep School that Dewey as Ned Schneebly taught at. He played the guitar in the school music class, and becomes the lead guitarist in Dewey's School of Rock band.
Personality[]
Zack is quiet and shy. He was reluctant to be part of the band at first, mostly due to having a very strict father, who forbade Zack from playing the electric guitar and being involved with rock music. But as Dewey's charismatic rock lessons continue to draw Zack into rock music, he becomes much more talented as an electric guitarist, and much more interested in rock music. Due to being able to write the bands own music, he seems to be a very creative young man.
History[]
Zack is a student at the prep school where Dewey comes to teach at. He has a very strict father who permits him to play the guitar, but believes that electric guitars and rock music are a waste of time. Zack plays a guitar in the school music class, and Dewey teaches him how to play the electric guitar, which he takes to very quickly and becomes very skilled at. Later on, Dewey discovers that Zack wrote his own rock song, which he was practicing during class, and Dewey was so impressed that he immediately decided to have the band learn Zack's song
When Dewey was exposed for posing as their substitute teacher, Zack was at first upset that their teacher used them just to make some money. But after a discussion among the students, they agreed that they had a good experience with their teacher and decided to sneak out of school and compete in the Battle of the Bands concert as Dewey planned.
At the concert, Dewey decided that their band should play Zack's song because it's a great song, and Dewey praises Zack for being such a talented guitarist, and now a talented rock musician.
Zack's father and the other parents managed to follow their children all the way to the concert. The band came onstage and Dewey introduced their song as having been written by Zack. The band played very well, with Zack impressing the audience with his own solo. The performance was so spectacular that the parents, the whole audience, and even Zack's strict father, were greatly amazed. Despite not winning the contest, Zack's father, the other parents, and the whole audience cheered for an encore from the School of Rock. He is later seen performing at an after-school rock club that Dewey teaches, meaning that his father finally allowed him to play the electric guitar and listen to rock music.
