Hi, Pioneers! I’m Mrs. Sara Mowery.

I’ve joined the Zane Trace staff to teach English III and Literature. This will be my fifth year teaching English. My favorite part of my career is helping students see how building literacy skills can positively impact their academic endeavors, future careers, and personal lives across their lifetime.

A little about me - My husband and I moved to this area early this spring. When we’re not playing with our dogs, we love to spend our time on trails either hiking or running. This summer, we explored some National Parks in California and Wyoming. If any of you went on a cool hike or traveled somewhere new this summer, I’d love to hear about it once school begins next week.

Looking forward to learning with you all!

The bleachers and bathrooms in our athletic complex have both received new paint jobs! Thanks to Hatton Painting and Repair and our maintenance staff! The bleacher paint project is in it's final stages and should be completed soon.

There are new wooden benches being built for our baseball dugouts and new fence was put in down the first base line of the baseball field. Trevor Thomas has been building the benches for the teams. Thanks, Mr. Thomas!

Our maintenance staff has been working very hard all summer to get the building ready for the new school year. During the summer months, they wax the floors of each classroom and all of the hallways. They have also been going around the building touching up areas that need repainted, cleaned, and tend to any other repairs requested by the rest of the staff.

The first floor restrooms near the high school gym have also been repainted by Edwards and Son Contracting. They are also painting other restrooms around campus.

Our building is ready for the new school year, thanks to the hard work of a variety of people! We still have a few other projects in the works and there will be more updates later this summer.
