Auguste played at Marlborough High School for three seasons, growing 3 inches in each of these seasons.{{cite web |url=http://www.telegram.com/article/20150219/NEWS/302199520 |title=Homecoming for Notre Dame's Auguste |last=Doyle |first=Bill |date=February 19, 2015 |website=Telegram & Gazette |access-date=June 12, 2015}} As a junior in 2009–10, Auguste averaged 22 points and received All-Star accolades from the Mid-Wachusett (Central Massachusetts) league and local newspapers the Telegram & Gazette and The MetroWest Daily News.{{cite web |url=http://www.scout.com/college/notre-dame/story/1126874-success-pays-off?s=162 |title=Success pays off |last=O'Malley |first=Tim |date=November 10, 2011 |website=Scout.com |access-date=June 12, 2015}} He scored a total 631 points throughout his career at Marlborough.

He moved to university preparatory New Hampton School after that season, reclassifying to the class of 2012.{{cite web |url=http://www.milforddailynews.com/x306963200/High-School-Notebook-Irish-eyes-eagerly-await-Auguste/?Start=1 |title=High School Notebook: Irish eyes eagerly await Auguste |last=Cagen |first=Dan |location=Marlborough |date=February 19, 2012 |website=The Milford Daily News |access-date=June 12, 2015 }} He cited his desire to get academically and physically ready for college as the main factors behind that decision.

After adapting to the higher competition level, he improved dramatically in time, putting on 28 pounds and developing his post game to transition from a perimeter player to a forward.{{cite web |url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/regionals/west/2012/03/24/marlborough-auguste-well-prepped-for-notre-dame-basketball-program/y2Lj4rFYDINSEKBj9rasmN/story.html# |title=Marlborough's Auguste well prepped for Notre Dame |last=Perry |first=Phil |location=Marlborough |date=March 25, 2012 |website=The Boston Globe |access-date=June 12, 2015 }} He finished with an average of 15 points and 8 rebounds for his senior season.

Soon after joining New Hampton, he was noticed by Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) conference Notre Dame's assistant coach Anthony Solomon, however he later cut the school from his selection list, which included Division I schools West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Florida and Marquette.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/boston/high-school/post/_/id/9688/new-hamptons-auguste-picks-notre-dame|title=New Hampton's Auguste picks Notre Dame|website=ESPN|date=September 23, 2011|access-date=March 26, 2015}} Despite this, Solomon's steadfast attempts to recruit the player, widely ranked a 4-star recruit,{{cite web|url=https://rivals.yahoo.com/basketballrecruiting/basketball/recruiting/player-Zach-Auguste-116008|title=Zach Auguste|website=Rivals.com|access-date=April 3, 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/103374/zach-auguste|title=Zach Auguste|publisher=ESPN|access-date=April 3, 2015}}{{cite web|url=https://247sports.com/Player/Zach-Auguste-12492/?Institution=23804|title=Zach Auguste, New Hampton, Power Forward|website=247Sports.com|access-date=April 3, 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.scout.com/player/5305337n-zach-auguste/recruiting?s=162|title=Zach Auguste – recruiting|website=Scout.com|access-date=June 12, 2015}} convinced Auguste to visit the campus; he committed to Notre Dame on the spot in September 2011.

Notable were games against Kennesaw State (12 points and 7 rebounds in 12 minutes) and Marquette (a season-high 15 points with 5 rebounds and 3 steals in 21 minutes), for a freshman season average of 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds.

For the 2013–14 season, Auguste was expected to play a larger role after Cooley graduated and coach Mike Brey cited him as a major player.{{cite web|first=Tayler|last=Turner|url=http://www.und.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/102413aab.html |title=Ready To Step Up |publisher=Notre Dame Fighting Irish|date=October 24, 2013|access-date=June 11, 2015}} Though he did start 13 games out of 30, he stayed third choice with Sherman and Tom Knight preferred.

Tabbed as a starter during the preseason, Auguste, as one of the team's few post options, established himself as a starter during his junior season with good performances early in the season, albeit against weaker opposition.
