History edit

Zane Trace takes its name from a frontier road built before Ohio statehood by Ebenezer Zane. The road followed historical Native American trails and passed by nearby Kinnikinnick Creek. Zane Trace Local School District was created in 1967 when the school districts of Centralia, Kingston, and Adelphi consolidated.

Awards edit

  • 2020 Ohio Department of Education Purple Star Award for Military Support
  • National FFA Chapter Star Winner

Athletics edit

Zane Trace competes in the Scioto Valley Conference.

The Pioneers have freshman prospect Brice Johnson, who is on the national watch list. However, seeing how he played against Unioto Middle School in 2022, he is most likely not going to play for a Division I school. The Pioneers have recently been dominating the Scioto Valley Conference, with Unioto being a close second in almost everything.
