    Congratulations, DiAngelo and Lucy!

    Iron Mountain High School is proud to celebrate our 2025 Homecoming Court. Despite the unfortunate cancellation of tonight’s Homecoming football game, our Mountaineer pride was still on full display as students, families, and community members gathered to honor this cherished tradition.

    We are thrilled to congratulate this year’s Homecoming King, DiAngelo Saldana, and Homecoming Queen, Lucy Baumgartner! Their crowning moment was made even more special as they were crowned by the Junior Prom Queen and King, Bella Person and Louis Fiorucci.

    The Homecoming Court was presented during this evening’s festivities, reminding us all that Homecoming is about more than just the game- it’s about tradition, school spirit, and celebrating our students. While the football field may have been quiet, the Mountaineer community came together to ensure that the joy and excitement of Homecoming continued strong.

    We are also excited to announce that despite the Freshmen winning the Float Contest, the Sophomore class won the Homecoming Snuffy Cup!

    Congratulations!

    Congratulations once again to DiAngelo, Lucy, the entire Homecoming Court, and to the Sophomore Class.

    Message Regarding Tonight's Canceled Game

    As you may be aware, West Iron County Public Schools recently communicated about a reported threat directed at a staff member within their district. We want to assure you that Iron Mountain Schools has been working closely with West Iron County Schools and multiple law enforcement agencies throughout this ongoing investigation.

    Based on the information provided, there is no reason to believe that there is any threat to the Iron Mountain community. Law enforcement has determined there is no immediate concern for the safety of our schools.

    Out of an abundance of caution and respect for the safety of all students, families, and community members, tonight’s scheduled football game at Iron Mountain between West Iron County and Iron Mountain has been canceled. We understand this is disappointing for our players, families, and fans, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and support.

    We continue to encourage all students and families to report any concerning behavior to law enforcement or a trusted adult immediately. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.

    Other scheduled Homecoming events will continue as planned, with the introductions of Homecoming Court beginning at a new time of 6:15 PM at Mountaineer Stadium.

    Thank you for your support as we work together to ensure a safe and positive learning environment.

    North Elementary Opens New Free Little Library Sponsored by Local Illustrator

    North Elementary is excited to share that we now have a brand-new Free Little Library right on our school grounds!

    The Lynne Lillge Little Library was made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship by Chelsey Lynne Lillge the Italic Illustrator. Lynne created the library complete with illustrations of beloved characters, and donated dozens of books including from local authors. The Free Little Library will be a space at North Elementary where students, families, and community members can “take a book, leave a book,” and enjoy the simple joy of reading. It’s a great way to build connections, encourage literacy, and make books easily available for everyone.

    We are so grateful to Lynne for helping bring this project to life. Their support makes a meaningful difference for our school and community, and we can’t wait to see this little library filled with well-loved stories and new favorites.

    Next time you’re at North Elementary, stop by, check it out, and help us keep the love of reading growing!
