I can honestly say that I am now, so very proud to have been in the first graduating class at Zumwalt...at that time it didn't mean jack to me! Age changes everything!

Way back then I went to Pease Elem.and then off to Zumwalt for 7th-9th grade!!TTTTTTT

Yes,I'm a W/F 64 yrs old who is proud of my heritage and I pray each of you will graduate in your gold and white...and stand PROUD that the Golden Bears will always be in your hearts!

I'm a student at Sarah Zumwalt, and I've been going here for three years. The only complaint I could ever make was the disruptive behaviors that the students put forth. Zumwalt has some amazing and inspiring teachers. Mr. Threats, 8th grade ELA (english language arts), and Mrs. Lyons, 8th grade U.S. History. These are just two of the highly skilled and inspirational teachers. I'm disappointed that I must move onto High School next year, but these fantastic teachers will always be in my heart, and I will never forget them.
