A group of Napoleon High School students attended/organized the 1st ANNUAL Jackson County High School "STEP UP" CONFERENCE.
The "Next Step" Conference was developed to raise awareness about addiction, educate peers, and reduce stigma. A goal was to organize a student-led committee who found speakers to help foster understanding, share personal stories, promote resources for prevention and recovery, and provide information about how addiction can affect individuals, families, and communities. The students who attended the conference will be coming back to the local districts and educating other students and staff about what they learned. We want to thank our sponsors for making this event possible!
Congratulations to the STUDENTS OF THE MONTH at NHS! Students receive a certificate, gift card, and a congratulations note from Mr. Dillon. Pictures of the students will be displayed in the main lobby of the high school. Way to go Pirates!
September- Tre Pruitt
*Tre is an outstanding student. He is respectful, always comes prepared and ready to engage. Never fails to wish me “a good day” when class ends. He is just a joy to be around and you can tell he truly gets excited to learn.
October- Claire Steih
*Claire consistently takes her assignments beyond the requirements, she is hard working and respectful, and she is an active participant in class.

Cassidy Hurd, Napoleon Alumni, and World's Toughest Row Participant visited Napoleon High School this week. She talked to our students about her journey across the Pacific Ocean in the "World's Toughest Row". Hurd rowed 38 days across the Pacific Ocean, pushing her physical and mental limits. She hopes to inspire the next generation to chase their dreams no matter the challenge. It was a packed house and students enjoyed hearing about her adventure!

If you or your student has a library card (they are free) you can access apps like Hoopla and Libby to have audio versions of books available to help students with reading at home.
