The State of Michigan has just extended remote learning for our 9th-12th grade students through December 20th.

Graveraet Elementary is decorated and looking amazing for the Holidays. Dr. Kemppainen poses outside the office with one of dozens of decorations the staff made to make for a cozier environment for the students. Nice going GES!!

With the just released state order, Marquette Area Public Schools is excited to be able welcome back our 9th-12th grade face-to-face students on January 4th. Additionally, we can’t wait for the day when it is safe enough for all students to resume in-person learning.

Construction crews have removed the old Graveraet storefront entrances on Hewitt and Ohio streets. New security doors being installed over break. This will be a nice upgrade. Thanks to our community for the sinking fund dollars used on this project!!

This winter break work continues on new entrances and doors. This pic is of MSHS as the old storefront has been removed, a temporary wall constructed, and a new storefront will be installed starting tomorrow. Security will be improved to benefit all students and staff.
