ZHS Alumni and Boosters Information

OWEGO ONLINE PROJECT: ZHS is proud to launch a new website for all of our past Owego yearbooks at www.zhsowego.org.

ZHSOwego.org was made possible by the work of the ZHS Owego staff members, their advisor Mr. Jeff Charbonneau, and financial support from the Zillah Alumni Association. The website serves as a historical record of Zillah High School and is freely accessible to the general public. Currently, ZHSOwego.org has 5,928 scanned pages from 65 different books ranging from 1919 to 2001.

Only books that are 10 years old or older are published online. While we understand the desire for newer books to be published online, we also need to be able to sell yearbooks each year. By only posting older books we help balance the ability to share historical information and maintain sales (and thereby the existence) of the Owego Yearbook.

Currently, all books on file from 1919 to 2001 are posted online. In May 2012, the 2002 book will be posted online.

Unfortunately, we are missing several books. If you own one of the books listed below and would be gracious enough to allow the Owego staff to borrow and scan your copy, we would greatly appreciate it (your book will be returned to you). The following books are not in the ZHS inventory: 1921, 1923, 1925-1929, 1931-1936 (It is believed that no books were produced from 1931-1936), 1938, 1940-1943

Zillah High School does have extra physical copies of some of the past yearbooks. If you are interested in purchasing a past yearbook, please email or call Jeff Charbonneau

Thank you for your support of Zillah High School and of the Owego Yearbook. Please send us your comments! Jeff Charbonneau Owego Advisor Email: Charbonneau_J@zsd.wednet.edu School: 509-829-5565

Zillah School District Dedicates New Gym to Alumni: The Zillah School District Board of Directors has announced the official name of the new gymnasium as the Zillah Alumni Gym. The gym built on the ZMS campus and opened in the winter of 2007 is now the main gym for athletics contests and community events.

The gym was build with the proceeds from the last bond that was passed by the community. So many people over the years have been involved in making Zillah a great community and many of our graduates have gone on to success from lessons learned in the “old gyms” and that small town support of the teams forms a pivot point for social gatherings and pride, that it seemed a natural choice to acknowledge the Zillah Alumni by naming this beautiful new facility after them. Thank you alumni for all your support.

Field Dedication: The Zillah School District officially renamed the High School football field "Andy Collins Memorial Field" at a dedication ceremony on October 14, 2011
