The sixth annual ZCS Do-Days takes place next week -- March 7-9, 2024. This is a season of giving back for all students and families in Zionsville Community Schools. Join us as we come together to give back to the community we all call home!
Students and staff districtwide will be actively engaged in various service projects. We have a list of the many projects that are being completed in classrooms, by athletic, arts and extra-curricular teams, and so many more. Feel free to share your family project with us as well. Send project details to Janet Mann at jmann@zcs.k12.in.us. And don't forget to include photos!
We are so excited to see the many ways we can make a positive impact in our community.

Attention Class of 2024 Families: send in a photo of your senior wearing something that shows what's next!
We know it's still a little early and some seniors haven't finalized plans yet, but when you do...
We will be producing a district video with photos of the ZCHS Class of 2024 seniors. Please share a photo of your senior wearing spirit wear or posed in a setting showing their next steps. For some, this will be donning a college sweatshirt, while others will be pursuing trades, a gap year, beginning a career or enlisting in a branch of the military. We want to celebrate all students!
Send photos to: zcsphotos@zcs.k12.in.us with the subject line ZCHS Class of 2024.
