Community Journey to 721

ZB Community Schools: The Journey to Day 721

Earlier this year, students from ZBTHS, representing the ZB Media Team and sponsored by Digital Media Teacher, Mr. Steven Angelos, embarked on a mission to tell the story of academic growth and partnership within our community. They visited each of our four foundation middle schools, as well as ZBTHS and Zion-Benton East, capturing interviews and b-roll footage to highlight the progress shown in the Illinois State School Report Card.

The video features voices from across the district—superintendents, principals, teachers, and students—all sharing how our schools are working together to prepare students not only for high school but for success beyond graduation. This collaborative effort reflects our shared commitment to student achievement and is anchored in the powerful concept of “Day 721”—the first day after high school graduation and a symbol of our goal to prepare students for lifelong success.

We invite you to watch and share this celebration of growth, partnership, and community pride.
