Zionsville Community High School’s reputation for academic excellence is well-known. What you may not know is that Zionsville athletics is also known for its high standards and championships. The ZCHS Eagles have been state, regional or sectional champs in almost every sport in which they participate. The school also has had several individual state champions in golf, swimming, tennis, track, and wrestling.
In addition to their multiple championships, some of the ZCHS athletic teams have consistently been one of Indiana’s top high school teams—a current example being the girl’s swim team, which is one of only three schools to be ranked in the top-10 for eight years in a row.
