EagleFest 2023
The annual EagleFest community celebration, organized by the Zionsville Athletic Booster Club, was another huge success. Families and community members packed the outdoor festival at Jennings Field before heading over to the first home football game of the season - congratulations to the ZCHS football team on the win. It was a great kick-off for what we hope is a fantastic school year. This is community!

Sale
Annual Fall Mum Sale
It's time for the ZCHS Student Opportunities to Achieve Real-Life Success (SOARS ) program Fall Mum Sale. Students are selling mums (chrysanthemums) throughout the community in partnership with Jones Greenhouse. This is a fundraiser run by the students who are responsible for: approaching businesses, sharing information about the Transition to Work program/SOARS, collecting and recording payments, delivering mums, entering orders into spreadsheets, counting money, and working with the treasurer to prepare funds for deposit and payment.
On Thursday, September 14th from 1:00 p.m. - 5:45 p.m. any parents/staff/community member (non-business) who ordered mums will be able to pick up their mums at the ZCS Wellness Center, 800 Mulberry St.
Thank you for your support of our Student Opportunities to Achieve Real-life Successes.
