| Campus Description: | Campus Overview Grades Served: 2nd – 5th Grade | Enrollment: 900+ Students | Principal: Lindsey Birch About Zavala Zavala Elementary is more than a school — it is an experience. Serving over 900 students in grades 2 through 5, Zavala is one of PBTISD's flagship campuses and a proud Capturing Kids' Hearts showcase school, recognized for its relational culture and its commitment to putting students first in everything it does. Zavala is an early adopter of the Bluebonnet curriculum in both mathematics and reading/writing, positioning the campus at the forefront of evidence-based instructional practice. Teachers here are innovators — professionals who embrace high-quality curriculum and are committed to continuous growth alongside their students. The campus itself is a destination. Zavala's stunning facilities feature an open-air library concept spanning two floors, thoughtfully designed think spaces throughout the building, and the kind of learning environment that inspires curiosity at every turn. And then there's Ernie — the beloved two-story slide that students earn the right to ride each week through strong attendance, acts of kindness, and academic growth. Ernie isn't just a slide; he's a symbol of the culture Zavala has built. If you are an educator who believes that relationships are the foundation of learning, that beautiful spaces matter, and that every child deserves to feel celebrated, Zavala is your campus. |
