Gaby hernandez: i am a student who graduated from this school of the year of 2010. And i love this school i just wish i had my teachers in my high school. Zapata is not a bad school it is a very good schoo. No other student in any other school is going to have teachers that are good at Emiliano Zapata Academy.
