Charles Hackley Middle School

Marquette Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth grade families on Bennett Street in Muskegon as part of Muskegon Public Schools. We are a Title I school, and our building includes a STEAM lab, a gym, a cafeteria and outdoor play space. Health care is right inside our building. Hackley Community Care runs a School Wellness Program at Marquette, where a school nurse and a licensed behavioral health provider offer health screenings, health education and counseling with signed parental consent. Mobile dental visits, kindergarten oral health checks and vision screenings also come to the school during the year. When classes end, many of our students stay for the 21st Century after-school program, which runs into the early evening. Students in grade 3 and up can apply to the Nancy K. Poppen Program, which pays for weekly lessons in visual art, music, dance, theatre or creative writing for Big Red students from lower-income families. Kindergarten intervention and the district's Read by Grade Three supports help our youngest readers get a strong start.

Every Muskegon High School student chooses a career academy. Ninth graders start in our Freshman Academy, meeting weekly for career exploration and attending the Future of You career conference before picking a pathway. In grades 10 to 12, students join either the Academy of Health and Human Services or the Academy of Industry, Technology and Design. Pathways include health sciences, public service and education, hospitality and tourism, criminal justice and first response, engineering and advanced manufacturing, skilled trades, digital media and design, and business and entrepreneurship. State Career Tech Education Expansion grants fund our robotics, simulation equipment, student business incubator and media studios. Students take college courses on our campus through Baker College, Michigan State University and Muskegon Community College, and complete job shadows and work-based learning with local employers. Hackley Community Care runs a school-based health center on campus with parent consent. We also have a counseling department, peer mediation, athletics and the Poppen Programs in the Arts.
