Mayor David McDavid and the Zachary City Council proudly recognized the Zachary High School Boys and Girls Basketball teams for their outstanding achievement in securing back-to-back Division 1 Non-Select State Championships. The 2026 championship teams were commended for their exceptional talent, dedication, and teamwork demonstrated throughout the season.
In celebration of their accomplishments, the City of Zachary hosted a BBQ chicken dinner at the Zachary Fire Department in honor of the teams. The event highlighted the strong community support behind Zachary athletics. Special thanks are extended to the Zachary Fire Department for preparing the donated chicken, Jett’s Country Kitchen for providing twice baked potatoes, and Lt. Alex Bonds for contributing cowboy beans.
“The success of these teams reflects not only their hard work, but also the pride and support of our entire community,” said Mayor McDavid.

The City of Zachary, in partnership with Waste Depot, will conduct its annual Spring Leaf Clean-Up on Monday and Tuesday, April 20–21, 2026. Waste Depot bulky trash trucks will be deployed throughout the community to assist residents with seasonal leaf disposal.
Residents are encouraged to participate by properly preparing their leaves for collection. All leaves must be placed in clear bags and set curbside to ensure efficient pickup. Loose leaves will not be collected.
This initiative plays an important role in maintaining the city’s infrastructure. Properly bagging leaves helps prevent clogged storm drains and reduces the risk of street flooding as spring rain showers approach.
City officials emphasize the importance of community participation in keeping Zachary clean, safe, and visually appealing.
For additional information, residents may contact the City of Zachary at 225 654-1902.

The City of Zachary recently partnered with the Zachary Rotary Club to install a 700-foot sidewalk along Avenue A from Rollins Road to E. Central Avenue.
This new sidewalk provides a safer route for students walking between Northwestern Middle School and nearby neighborhood streets. It also improves access for residents walking to important community resources such as the Zachary Food Pantry, the Zachary Men’s Club, and the Community Park on Rollins Road.
Mayor McDavid said the dedicated pedestrian path will help reduce the risk of accidents between pedestrians and vehicles while providing safer, more reliable access to education, food assistance, and recreation.
The Zachary Rotary Club secured a district grant to help support the project, which also encourages walking and physical activity to promote better community health. The City of Zachary completed the construction work, including pouring the concrete and installing the sidewalk. During the project, crews were also able to improve drainage at the corner of Rollins Road and Avenue A.
Funding for the project included a $2,000 contribution from the Rotary District Designated Fund (DDF) and a $2,000 match from the Zachary Rotary Club. The City of Zachary provided $37,608 toward the project, bringing the total investment to $41,608.
