ZCSD Insights into Excellence | Bianca CoatsWe are so honored to share insights from students, parents, alumni, employees, and community members who know the Zachary Community School District well and hold it close to their hearts. We are grateful to those who happily volunteered to share their thoughts, stories, and love for the ZCSD....their insights into excellence! Some brought a page of notes to guide them, and others spoke "off the cuff," but all shared straight from the heart. Our schools create a unique and deeply connected community where excellence is woven into every aspect of the ZCSD. The traditions of our district provide so many special, full-circle moments. One of the greatest strengths of the ZCSD is the story we have to tell. Every day, our students are learning, growing, performing, competing, and thriving because of the dedication of those who serve them and the unwavering support of our community — past and present. From strong academic experiences both inside and outside the classroom, to meaningful opportunities for artistic expression, to the teamwork and discipline developed through athletics, our Three A’s — Academics, Arts, and Athletics — continue to shape a district experience unlike any other. Excellence truly lives here. It lives in our schools, in our students, in our employees, and in the homes and hearts of the families who make up the Zachary community. #WeAreZachary #AcademicsArtsAthletics #ZacharyForward #ExcellenceLivesHere #InsightsIntoExcellence #FullCircleMoments #Community ...

Polls are open until 8 pm today!!! Voters who live within the ZCSD boundaries have the opportunity to authorize existing school tax funds to be used ONLY for ZCSD employee compensation, WITHOUT raising the tax rate on residents. With voter permission, these existing funds will be reallocated toward employee compensation (salaries and benefits). This will allow the ZCSD to retain and attract the best employees as well as continue to provide excellent benefit packages for current employees and retirees. Employee compensation has fallen behind other districts in our area, and some districts are looking at greater increases soon. This initiative connects directly with our 2025-2030 Board-approved Strategic Plan.Please click here for more information on the Zachary Forward Initiative and FAQs. zacharyschools.org/zachary-forward-initiative/Important dates for voters:Election Date- Saturday, June 27, 2026.
