Spring Arbor, Mich. — Spring Arbor University (SAU) is thrilled to announce Napoleon Community Schools as its newest partner in the university’s Deep Roots Direct Admissions Program. This program was created to simplify the transition from high school to college, providing students with an accessible opportunity to take the next step in their academic journey and personal growth.
Napoleon High School seniors who meet the program’s admission requirements will be granted direct admission to Spring Arbor University. Through this initiative, students will have personalized support, scholarship opportunities, and the chance to immerse themselves in the SAU community before starting their collegiate career.
“We’re excited for what this partnership means for our students,” said Kip O’Leary, principal of Napoleon High School. “Through this direct admission program with Spring Arbor University, we’re able to provide our graduates with a clear path to take the steps towards a college degree. This highlights our dedication to the success of our students.”
Marla Sanford, Vice President of Enrollment and Marketing at Spring Arbor University, commented, “We’re proud to partner with Napoleon Community Schools to create a seamless pathway to SAU. It’s exciting to walk alongside students as they prepare for the next chapter of their academic, personal, and spiritual growth.”
This collaboration with Napoleon Community Schools continues to expand SAU’s Deep Roots Direct Admission Program throughout Jackson County.

On December 11th, we will be administering the MiPHY survey to all ninth- and eleventh-grade students. This is a statewide survey that all Jackson County schools, including Napoleon High School, have participated in for many years.
Attached to this memo is a letter from the State of Michigan explaining the contents and purpose of the survey. This letter also includes an option to opt out if you do not wish your child to participate. In addition, students will be bringing home a copy of this letter by the end of the week.
A copy of the survey is available in the NHS office if you would like to come in and preview the survey prior to December 11th. If you choose to opt out, please complete the required section of the letter and return it to the NHS office no later than December 10th.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. O'Leary directly at kip.oleary@napoleonschools.org.
Dear Career Center High School Families,
We are implementing a new driver/passenger permission slip for all Napoleon High School students who attend the Jackson Area Career Center.
We understand that the required paperwork has already been completed through the Career Center. However, this additional slip is specific to Napoleon High School and applies to:
- Student drivers traveling to and from the Career Center
- Students wishing to ride as passengers with a fellow High School Student
This process helps us ensure that we have accurate records and that families are fully aware of their student's transportation arrangements. Permission slips will be made available to students and families, and must be completed before a student is allowed to drive or ride with another student. Once complete, permission slips can be dropped off in the NHS main office.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to provide safe and clear transportation procedures for our Career Center students.
Sincerely,
Mr. O'Leary
Principal, Napoleon High School
When you drive by the High School take a peek at the mini snowmen in the front lawn.
