Seniors/Senior Parents: The 2025–26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) is NOW AVAILABLE. Submitting the FAFSA is the first step to getting student grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and loans for post-secondary education. It also helps determine eligibility for most state aid programs, like the Michigan Achievement Scholarship, which can cover up to $27,500 for college.  Please follow the steps outlined in this letter for more details.

Parents/Guardians: As we look to continue to provide ZHS students with opportunities to engage in career exploration, we would like to develop a job shadow database, and we need your help!  If you are willing to partner with us by offering a job shadow experience at your place of employment, would you please take time to complete this FORM?  Thank you!
