Pioneers,

I want to welcome everyone back to Zane Trace High School for the 2024-2025 school year! I am honored to serve the staff, students, and community as the principal.  

The staff are pleased to have you here as a student. We will do our best to help you make your experience here as productive and successful as you choose to make it. You will be treated with the utmost level of respect and require that you treat all staff with the same. 

The expectations that are set are very high and they start with my responsibilities as principal.  Our goal is to make sure every student can meet their full potential and be college or career ready after graduating. We want to challenge every student to set high expectations and goals for themselves.  

At Zane Trace, we want to develop strong positive relationships between students, staff, families, and community members.  We need all stakeholders highly involved, so each student can get the most out of their educational experience to become productive and responsible citizens.

Remember to come to school every day with a positive mindset and a goal to achieve.  We expect to have a great year at Zane Trace High School!
