From imaginative stories to clever leprechaun traps, our readers found that books spark creativity, problem-solving, and lots of fun. ✨📖
Who knows… we might just catch a leprechaun today! 🌈🍀

On April 15, 2026 we are hosting a catered brunch and required activities for all seniors from 9:30-11:30AM.
These are the activities/stations we have planned for seniors to complete that day:
- FAFSA (Graduation Requirement): Completion assistance or OPT-OUT with Mr. Rodriguez
- Early College: 13th year Commitment or Opt-out with EC staff
- Senior Decision Day Banners: Photos & Info Needed! We are creating Senior -Decision Day Banners to celebrate your post-high school plans! These banners will be hung in the school cafeteria and will remain on display until after Awards Night on May 26, 2026.
What We WILL Need From you on April 15, 2026:
Your Decision Info: At the Senior Banner Table you should provide the college you are attending, your planned career (or simply "workforce"), or the military service branch you are joining by entering your response on a digital spreadsheet.
Your Photo: Submit a high-quality senior photo NOW to the Yearbook if you haven't already. We will review all yearbook photos (prior to April 15) to ensure they can be enlarged for your banner without pixelating. Send Pictures to Liz.hampton@napoleonschools.org with the subject "Senior Picture."
Photo Quality & The Senior Banner Station:
Notifications: We will try to let you know in advance if your photo is missing or unusable due to pixelation.
Banner Station: If you arrive at the Senior Banner Station without a usable photo, you will need to submit a higher-quality file immediately, or we will take a new picture of you against a neutral background.
*After these things are completed, you can make your way to the Cap and Gown table to get your cap and gown.
Other Stations in the library we will have as a bonus:
*Table for Napoleon Scholarships (all will be due this day).
*Service Branch Members and possibly some employers for those of you that are undecided.
If you have more questions please contact Mrs. King at kim.king@napoleonschools.org. We thank you for making this day a special one for our Seniors!

Yesterday, our students tried dragon fruit — and it was an exciting mix of curiosity, smiles, and brave bites! 😄
From first-time tasters to instant fans, it was fun watching students explore a new fruit and expand their taste buds.
We love giving students opportunities to try new foods and discover healthy favorites! 🌈🥭

Important update regarding Graduation Ceremony Location due to construction!
New location - Pirate Plex Gym
Due to construction starting at the Athletic Complex following the end of spring sports, Graduation will be held in the Pirate Plex Gym. Highlights of having the ceremony in the Plex: Climate controlled, rented white seating, and a new stage.


Our students had a great experience challenging themselves academically, connecting with other talented competitors, and representing Napoleon with pride. In addition to the competition, they enjoyed a campus tour and learned more about the exciting opportunities available at Trine University.
We’re proud of their hard work and dedication! 👏➕➗

The snow day may have postponed our Homecoming Pep Assembly, but we didn’t let that stop us — we rescheduled and made it happen!
Last Friday, we finally celebrated with an amazing Homecoming Pep Assembly! Students competed in Musical Yoga Ball, Hungry Hungry Hippo, Dance Freeze, Inch Worm, Lava, and the always-anticipated Dodgeball Tournament — where our staff even joined in on the fun!
We also proudly introduced our Homecoming Court, recognized our Student of the Month, and celebrated all of our Winter Athletes.
Pirates LOVE to have fun — and this pep assembly proved it! 🎉🏴☠️
