Mr. Marshall took his Spanish 2 classes on an exciting trip to the campus of Eastern Michigan University where students explored college life and future opportunities. The adventure continued at a Spanish restaurant where students put their Spanish skills to the test by ordering their meals completely in Spanish! 🌮🗣️
Hands-on learning like this helps bring the classroom to life and gives students confidence using their language skills in real-world situations.
The visit gave students a chance to learn more about college life, academic programs, campus opportunities, and what it could look like to continue their education after high school. Experiences like these help our Pirates begin thinking about their future goals and possibilities!
Thank you, Mr. Keeler, for helping inspire and encourage our students as they explore potential college and career paths! 🎓☠️

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Joint Release – Napoleon Township Police & Fire Departments., & Napoleon Community Schools
Nine Count Felony Petition Authorized in Connection with Napoleon Schools' “Swatting” Incident
Napoleon Township — The Napoleon Township Police Department, Napoleon Township Fire Department, and Napoleon Community Schools have been advised that the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office has authorized a nine-count juvenile petition against a 14-year-old juvenile in connection with the threatening calls that resulted in a district-wide lockdown at Napoleon Community Schools on May 5, 2026, and the subsequent school closure on May 6, 2026.
According to the Jackson County Office of the Prosecutor, the authorized charges include:
• False Threat of Terrorism
• Conspiracy to Commit a False Threat of Terrorism
• False Threat of a Bomb
• Conspiracy to Commit a False Threat of a Bomb
• False Public Threat
• Conspiracy to Commit a False Public Threat
• False Report of a Felony
• Conspiracy to Commit a False Report of a Felony
• Using a Computer to Commit a Crime Punishable by 20 Years or More
The lead charges include offenses punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
The charges stem from the juvenile’s alleged involvement in three separate threatening calls made to law enforcement agencies that triggered a large-scale emergency response and lockdown procedures throughout the Napoleon Community School District.
During the incident, an extensive response was initiated involving 26 police units from six law enforcement agencies and 18 fire and rescue units from at least seven agencies. First responders immediately implemented emergency protocols, coordinated searches of school facilities, and worked closely with school administration, teachers, support staff, and district personnel to ensure the safety and well-being of students, faculty, and the community.
As we stated throughout this incident, any threat directed toward our schools will always be treated as real and responded to with the highest level of urgency and professionalism. While these types of incidents are often referred to as “swatting” calls, they create very real fear, anxiety, and disruption for students, parents, school staff, and the entire community, while also placing a significant strain on emergency resources.
This incident also reinforced the strength of the partnership between Napoleon Community Schools and emergency services. The coordinated efforts between school administrators, teachers, support staff, law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and responding agencies demonstrated an unwavering commitment to protecting our children and community.
We again want to express our sincere appreciation to our school staff, students, parents, law enforcement partners, fire and EMS personnel, and community members for their professionalism, patience, understanding, and cooperation throughout this incident.
Due to the sensitive nature of juvenile proceedings, the identity of the juvenile respondent will not be released.
