Clara Bradford (Class of 2011) is someone who loves to help out others in the community or globally. She tends to be more comfortable in environments where those around her are genuine, and care about what they are doing as much as she does. Though she is very opinionated, she likes to keep her mind open to surrounding ideas. Clara believes the outcome of pushing herself to make positive changes in the world is worth any stressful effort. Doing well in school is something that she strives for because she can’t wait to go off into the world and spread her ideas through the freedom of expression.

Lindsey Slaughter (Class of 2011) is a junior at ZCHS.  She participates in clubs such as Key Club, EKOM, and Girls Lacrosse.

Lindsey can often be spotted riding her bike or canoodling with fellow ZCHS students. In a nutshell Lindsey is a Starbucks addict who enjoys engaging in good clean fun, meeting interesting people, and trying new things.

   With an older brother in the class of 2010 and a younger sister in the class of 2019, Katie Faulkner (class of 2011) feels compelled to do what she can to help Zionsville for the long run. As a second grader, her teacher described her as “…very fair. If something isn’t fair, Katie can be counted on to change it.” This hasn’t changed. She is a member of Spanish Club and Operation Honduras and does her best to remain active in her community and church. She believes in giving back, and takes hold of what mission trips or service she can participate in. At some point she hopes to study abroad, and after graduating from college, she plans on doing mission work in  South America.            When she isn’t busy with complaining about her workload, Katie can be found drooling over the sushi at her job, Tegry Bistro, listening to the same song until she gets sick of it, over thinking society, zoning out, and wearing comfortable clothes that sceam "premature senioritis". She enjoys drawing and painting, going to the gym, and trying to be funny (unsuccessfully).
