What school district is Zalma High School part of?
Zalma is a wonderful school. As a small school, the students get more one-on-one interaction with the teachers and are able to build stronger relationships with them. The teachers care deeply about the students and their success. The school has a reputation for its past state championships in volleyball and has an amazing choir. We have a nice big gym for being such a small school and, as in most any small community, parental involvement is high and thriving in the school district. The PTO and Booster Club, both driven by parents in the community, continue to help the school district prosper.
