We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Russell, our Middle School Principal, and Mr. O’Leary, our High School and Ackerson High School Principal. The countless hours they dedicate to their buildings do not go unnoticed—working behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly each and every day.

Their leadership, commitment, and care for our students and staff make a lasting impact. Thank you both for all that you do for our school community! 💚

We are so thankful for Mr. McGonegal and Mrs. Holbrook, our incredible Eby principals, and all the hard work and love they pour into our elementary students each day. 💚

This National Principals Day, we celebrate and thank you both for your leadership, dedication, and the positive impact you make in our school community! 🏴‍☠️

Aubrey Weber had a blast at DECA ICDC (International Career Development Conference)!

Pirate Aubrey represented Jackson Area Career Center in the Principles of Marketing competition in Atlanta, GA this week. This is comprised of a comprehensive business administration exam and a role play scenario based presentation.

🏆Aubrey outperformed all other competitors in the exam portion and received a high exam score achievement medal.🏅 She was called up on stage in front of approximately 30,000 of her peers to receive this honor at the Mercedez Benz Stadium (what an experience!!🤩).

Although she didn’t proceed into the final round of the competition, she should be incredibly proud of her accomplishment! She’s already pumped and ready for DECA next year!

We are so PROUD of YOU, Aubrey!!!! 🏴‍☠️

We need your help! Let's fill up the courtyard windows with Relay for Life donation cards. Only two weeks left until our mini relay! Reminder: pink survivor forms are due Monday May 4th.

We are incredibly proud of our eight National Honor Society students who spent time this morning giving back to the community!

Caitlyn Briggs, Jocelyn Gamez, Myla Hasegawa, Ethan Hays, Tyler Nall, Lucas Rowley, Cade Rugg, and Jenna Yob teamed up with People for the Parks and Trails and Grow Jackson to help revitalize the garden beds at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center.

In just a short window, these leaders tackled weeding and mulching to help support local food access and keep our public spaces beautiful. Way to show what leadership and service look like in action!

🏆🏅We’re proud to share that our very own Miss Pence has received the Educator Award from the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.

This honor recognizes an educator who creates safe spaces for learning, encourages honest conversations, and supports early intervention. Miss Pence’s dedication to our students strengthens not only their individual futures, but the well-being of our entire community.

Congratulations, Miss Pence, and thank you for the impact you make every day! ❤️👏

4th graders celebrated Arbor Day with a presentation from Mr. McGonegal, DNR officer, Kevin Sayers, and members of the Napoleon Lions Club, Dick and Carmen Tallman and Levi Kimble, who were kind enough to purchase White Spruce seedlings for all of our 4th grade students.

Eby celebrates Earth Day 2026!

🏴‍☠️ Set sail for success! Good luck to our Pirates as they compete at the VEX Robotics World Championship!

We’re cheering you on all the way — Devin Fry, Nolan Callahan, Cade Rugg, and Griffin Keith. Show the world what you’ve built and give it everything you’ve got! ⚙️🤖

The Jackson Community Foundation is looking for new members for the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC). We are asking for your help in identifying students in upcoming grades 8th–12th who are ready to make a tangible impact in Jackson County.

Our juniors had an amazing opportunity to visit Albion College, Spring Arbor University, and Jackson College! 🎓

They were well-behaved, engaged, and truly represented our school with pride. From exploring campuses to getting a real taste of college life, students gained valuable insight into their future options—right here in our local community.

A great day of learning, growth, and inspiration!

Future Pirates attended the K for a Day event at Eby today. They met Pete the Pirate, went for a school bus ride, worked out with Mr. Marvin, visited each of the kindergarten classrooms, and played on the playground. We are so excited for them to be a part of our Crew!!

The Napoleon High School Quiz Bowl team placed 11th in the state at the Division C/D State Championship at Michigan State University. Competing against a strong field of qualified teams, the team’s finish reflects a high level of consistency and subject-matter expertise across its 10-student roster.

The Division C/D competition included 116 top-performing students who qualified for the state championship. Napoleon’s top performers demonstrated strong results, with three students finishing in the top 30 based on preliminary round statistics:

Ethan Hays — 21st
Braylon Nykamp — 24th
James Purdue — 30th

The team’s 11th-place finish was a collective effort from the entire traveling squad: Blake Fish, Dein Fry, Ethan Hays, Griffin Keith, Logan Kish, Ryder McCloe, Braylon Nykamp, Trenton Pruitt, James Purdue, and Troy Styron.

This performance places Napoleon among the top Division C/D programs for the 2025–2026 season. The team represented the school with distinction on the state stage at Michigan State University.
