COMMUNITY LIFE AND EVENTS
A second family. A second home. For students, for families, for alumni, for grandparents and special friends. As our students move through the world, they never lose sight of the lessons that shaped them for a lifetime and we invite you to be a part of their journey at Bernard Zell.
The partnerships we forge at Bernard Zell between parents, faculty, students and staff extend outside the walls and far beyond the years that students attend classes here. As we prepare students to excel in high school and throughout their lives, parental involvement is essential and extended families are welcome. The people who experience Bernard Zell always remain part of our community, and we offer many opportunities for families and alumni to get and stay involved with us for years to come.
