We have many teachers who are invested in the school and community.

What I like about ZBTHS is the diversity of classes. We have many different classes to choose from that allow us as students to learn things we are interested in and take what we learned and apply it to our personal lives.

I like how the school is constantly being remodeled and improving, giving students better resources.

Many people associate Zion with a negative connotation, meanwhile, many of the positive regards done within the school and community aren't. While this may bother some people, I find humility in it. Having the opportunities from ZBTHS and Zion communities to be involved in many clubs that involve helping others in need and appreciating those around us, gives a sense of gratitude and connection to those around you. Whether it's family, friends, peers, etc., helping and giving whenever it's possible making a home of wherever you live despite how it's viewed, and simply being grateful makes a life truly worth living.Emily M, Class of 2026

I like the NJROTC program here at Zion Benton. The program helps students become responsible and disciplined cadets. Another benefit of the program is showing you what the military is like, with the occasional visit of recruiters from some branches to help you get an understanding of military life in their branch.
