School Overview
Zion-Benton High School, the Zion Alternative Program (ZAP), and our Transitions Program serve approximately 2,150 high school students from the communities of Beach Park, Winthrop Harbor, Zion, and portions of Wadsworth. We have strong partnerships with the Lake County Tech Campus and the Special Education District of Lake County. We take pride in our rich heritage and diversity, often being described as "a slice of America."
District 126 offers a wide range of academic and extracurricular opportunities, providing impressive avenues for student success. Our students have been accepted into prestigious colleges and universities, earned regional, state, and national awards in academics and extracurriculars, and contributed countless hours of community service.
We encourage you to explore our website for an abundance of information and to attend our District 126 events listed on the calendar. It's always a great day to be a Zee-Bee. Join us and be part of our vibrant community!
