Sturgis Public Schools has named Tom Langdon its new Superintendent. Langdon will replace SPC's former Superintendent Ron Olsen on July 1, 2011. Langdon has been leading Big Rapids Public Schools for the past 7 years. We'll have more on this developing story when it becomes available.  

Big Rapids School District is closed for the day due to a power outage.

However, St. Peters's Lutheran School and St. Michaels Catholic School are open today.

Today was a very important school day, not only throughout the rest of the state, but in our own backyards. Public schools throughout the counties held Count Day and school districts needed every student to be in class because enrollment numbers translate into state funding.
