History

The district's high school students attended Wentzville or Saint Charles schools until 1960, when a standalone two-wing high school was built for grades 9–12 at Sonderen Street. In 1967, another wing and a major wing addition were added. After the 1975–1976 school year, the high school swapped addresses with Cool Springs Junior High School, on Cool Springs Road. The relocated Cool Springs school then took on the name Central Junior High.
In January 2022, Ronald Entwistle was appointed as Zumwalt North principal, succeeding Joseph Sutton in July 2022.
