The 48th Annual ZT FFA Sausage Breakfast is only a few weeks away!
We are having the CCP required meeting for students/parents/guardians tonight at 5:00 in the Media Center at Zane Trace High School.
Congratulations to all who came out and auditioned for Aladdin Jr! You all did a fabulous job and made casting decisions extremely difficult. We are certainly a school full of talent!
