Back to School 2026-27

School will resume on Monday, August 31st, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another exciting year at Iron Mountain Public Schools!

As summer winds down, we hope you're enjoying time with family, making memories, and recharging for the year ahead. Our staff has been hard at work preparing for the upcoming school year, and we’re looking forward to opening our doors to both new and returning Mountaineers.

Whether you're entering school for the very first time or heading into your senior year, we’re committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for every student. Mark your calendars and get ready to start strong—we’re counting down the days until we see you back in class on August 31st!

In the lower-left foreground, a "Main Street Pizza" restaurant with a gray roof is visible next to a parking lot. To the lower right, the top of a "St. Vincent De Paul" building is partially visible. A multi-lane main street runs horizontally across the lower middle section with a few vehicles driving. Across the street sits a large, modern tan-brick school complex. Behind this complex rises a prominent historic stone church with two tall green steeples. To the far left, a historic multi-story red brick school building stands near another parking area. The entire scene is backed by rolling green hills dotted with early red and orange fall foliage under a bright sky.
