Mission Statement : We believe in a school that involves students, staff, parents and community members. Zama American High School is a place for students to think, question, and reason about global, environmental, and school concerns for the benefit of the individual and society. We believe students should be exposed to the uniqueness of cultures and lifestyles, to the importance of education as a lifelong process, and to the necessity of striving for excellence. Students will exhibit the qualities of flexibility, creativity, and productivity in order to function successfully in a changing world. |
