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.

Napoleon Community Schools is excited to announce the scheduled opening of our new fitness center on Tuesday, May 12th. Part of the 2023 bond approved by voters, this new fitness center will be a staffed, membership-based facility open to residents of the Napoleon School District and will replace the current key-card entry system that is used for community members in the current weight room. Beginning on May 12th, the weight room will be reserved for use by Napoleon students and athletes under the supervision of Napoleon teachers and coaches.

Applications for membership to the new facility can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RaC38go4-a7omCWnk3szclEMF6EvfQwbCYvsb0lcZOE/edit

We will begin processing these applications on Monday, April 20th so that we can ensure a smooth transition for our community members that are moving from the weight room to the fitness center. Current key cards will be deactivated on May 12th.

We will also be hosting a community open house on Wednesday, April 29th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM for those that would like to preview the new fitness center.

This is a great addition to our campus footprint and we are looking forward to seeing our community take advantage of this amenity.
