Pirate Pete was honored at the game on Friday Night.
"On behalf of our entire community, we want to extend our deepest thanks for 10 incredible years as our beloved icon Pirate Pete. For a decade, you’ve brought energy, pride, and spirit to every event, game, and gathering. Your enthusiasm has become a symbol of what it means to be part of this community — strong, united, and full of heart.
From cheering on our students to representing us at parades and celebrations, you’ve made “Pirate Pride” something we all feel deeply. Your dedication has inspired generations of students, athletes, and families to carry that same spirit wherever they go.
Thank you for being more than just a mascot — thank you for being the face, heart, and soul of our Pirate family. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!!
With gratitude and pride,
The Napoleon Athletic Department and Booster Club"

Today Eby honored Bryn, Alivia, and Haylee's brother Connor at the T1D walk. A special thanks to the Pirate Council for collecting all the money from classrooms.






T1D walk at Eby today in honor of those living with type 1 diabetes. Thanks to Mrs. Dalton for organizing it and for everyone who donated money to the organization.










Please drive slowly through our parking lots, remain patient, and watch out for pedestrians, particularly our little Pirates. They can be hard to see and are quick on their feet! Your awareness makes a significant difference—thank you for helping us create a safe environment for everyone!

Our apologies for the glitch!

🏴☠️ Pirate Fans! Let’s come out and cheer our boys on as they head to Michigan Center this Friday (Oct. 17th)! Fans can line up along the grass area by Brooklyn Road Veterinary Clinic or the Dollar General lawn at the South Street turn. The bus will depart from the high school at 5:30pm; so I suggest being at your choice of cheering location close to 5:30 to get set up because it won’t take long for 🚌 to get there.
Bring your signs, wear your Pirate green, and bring your loudest cheers!
💚 Let’s GO PIRATES!!! 💚

Ackerson High School Visits “JUST BUILD IT!” Construction Expo
Students and staff from Ackerson High School recently attended the “JUST BUILD IT!” Construction Career Expo at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds. This exciting event gave students a unique opportunity to explore careers in the commercial construction industry through hands-on activities, live demonstrations, and interactive exhibits.
Throughout the day, students engaged with skilled trade apprenticeship programs, watched industry professionals like architects and engineers in action, and connected with representatives from construction firms, educational institutions, and industry organizations.
The Expo was a valuable experience that sparked interest in high-demand construction careers and allowed students to gain firsthand insight into the industry.
