History
Zion Heights was built in 1967. The building originally featured an open concept format, popular in the late 1960s. This meant that large spaces in the downstairs and upstairs area had no formal classrooms. In the late 1970s, walls were built because the educational theory changed and the formal classroom setting became more popular.
