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.
