Principal's Message
Only five days remain in this school year. Please see the testing and activity calendars for all events. We don't want you to miss out on a single thing!
ZHS Bus Loop:
The front bus loop is CLOSED to all parent/car traffic beginning at 6:45 a.m.
No cars can use this entrance until 7:30 a.m.
If you plan to drop off your student, please use the gym lot or the student parking lot.
ZPD and Pasco Sheriff will be enforcing this, so please plan ahead.
Bulldog PRIDE:
Our behavior, academic, and conduct standards are exemplified through Bulldog PRIDE.
PRIDE stands for
Proud
Respectful
Individual Thinker
Dedicated to Academics
Engaged
During the school year, we recognize students for showing Bulldog PRIDE in the classroom, in the cafeteria, on campus, and in the community with HERO points and other rewards. Many ZHS students model the BulldogPRIDE behaviors each day and we will continue to celebrate them!
**For students in the halls or out of class, parents and guardians will be contacted when your student is not meeting expectations. Please partner with us and talk with your student about the importance of attending each class every day on time and actively participating in their education. If you'd like to volunteer to help us clear the hallways and restrooms, please email cstanley@pasco.k12.fl.us so we can arrange a time.**
MyStudent Portal and Required Acknowledgments:
Thank you to our families have completed the required acknowledgments in the MyStudent Portal.
The required Parents' Bill of Rights acknowledgments and consents are viewable in the Parent Portal at http://pasco.focusschoolsoftware.com/focus/?skipSAML=true.
Please be sure to complete these acknowledgements and consent tasks so that we can effectively assist your student and you.
Closed Campus:
ZHS is a closed campus. Students are expected to remain on campus for the entire school day and do not have permission to leave campus for food/lunch. Additionally, outside food, food delivery, and food sales is not allowed, as it jeopardizes our Free and Reduced Meal status. These deliveries will be refused.
We are Bulldog STRONG!

See Mr. Fernandez with any questions.
Timely Pick Up Reminder
Once students have completed practice, a school event, or their campus meeting(s), they need to be picked up or make arrangements to safely walk home. We have many instances where students did not have a ride or were on campus long after their event had concluded. If this continues, students will not be permitted to continue in their activity.
Parent/Spectator Code of Conduct
At ZHS, we want to remind all parents and spectators of our core values.
We want to ensure that all student-athletes and participants are supported and encouraged.
While you may not agree with every decision, please remember that these students, the officials, and coaches are all human and deserve respect for their efforts.
Any abuse or disrespect of the staff, officials, students, coaches, or other spectators may result in your removal from the event.
Thank you for supporting our students, coaches, staff, and the officials with BulldogPRIDE!
Outside Food, Food Deliveries, & Closed Campus for Lunch
Outside food, candy, chips, beverage sales PROHIBITED

What is a School Advisory Council?
- The school Advisory Council is the means for community and parent involvement in and support of the schools.
- The School Advisory Council is composed of the principal, teachers, school staff, parents, business and community representatives, and secondary students.
How can I become a SAC member?
- Elected members of the School Advisory Council include teachers, educational support personnel, parents, and secondary students.
- Members are also appointed to the council by the principal to represent business and the community.
- Students serve as SAC members for a one year term.
- A chairperson is elected annually by the SAC membership.
Any parent, community business member, teacher, or student interested in serving on our SAC committee for the 2022-2023 school year--please email Mrs. McCafferty at cmccaffe@pasco.k12.fl.us for a nomination form. This is a great way to get involved and stay connected to your Bulldog family.
