History
Zabzugu Senior High opened in January 1991 as a community day school. The aim was straightforward: make secondary education easier to reach for families in Zabzugu and surrounding areas.
A school profile places the campus at Tuvugu in the northeastern part of Zabzugu and records its later development into a day-and-boarding school.
That community origin still matters because the school was created around local access before it grew into the larger institution students know today.
Academics
Zabzugu offers Agricultural Science, Business, Home Economics, General Arts and General Science.
The programmes lead to different elective combinations, so a student interested in science will have a different timetable from someone in Business or General Arts.
Zabzugu has also competed in the National Science and Maths Quiz. A MyJoyOnline report records one of the school's Northern Zone victories.

School placement is managed through CSSPS.
Facilities
Published school information identifies administration and classroom facilities on the campus.
For science and agriculture students, the practical side of the programme matters too, so it is worth checking the current laboratory and practical-learning spaces when those facilities are important to your choice.
Student Life
Student life at Zabzugu includes lessons, boarding-house routines, sport, clubs and academic competitions.
The school's NSMQ participation gives one example of how students can take classroom learning into competition. House life and other school activities give students other ways to build friendships and take part in the wider school community.
Accommodation
Zabzugu Senior High has both day and boarding students.
Boarders stay on campus for the residential side of school life, while day students return home after lessons and activities.
If you get a place, your placement will show whether you are coming in as a boarder or a day student.
