Northport school graduates three seniors of class of 2024
Northport Public School honored its three seniors, Dashel Courson, Nayeli Martinelli, and Grace Oskaboose, as part of the 2024 graduating class on Friday evening. While the seniors were one of the smallest graduating classes in Leelanau County this year, the district also started a new annual tradition to celebrate the youngest generation at Northport, honoring the first group of kindergartners, the class of 2036, with a graduation ceremony just before the seniors received diplomas. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

LEELANAU HISTORY
LEELANAU HISTORY
Venerable Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore has withstood high water before. And it is again, although much of the national parks beach is underwater and erosion is dropping tons of sand into the Big Lake. The concern is more with humans than the resource. More endangered piping plovers are nesting than a year ago, and the dune itself is in no danger of running out of sand. But water levels that have risen to within a few inches the record set 33 years ago is building a cliff along the Lakeshore that makes access difficult. And the receding beach is starting to threaten homes. *** Although commissioners initially balked at the multi-million cost, the county board agreed last week to move ahead with two major projects to improve county facilities. During a special meeting last Thursday, May 30, the board approved a $1.2 million contract with Lutz Roofing Company of downstate Macomb County to re-roof the county Law Enforcement Center (LEC). 06/05/2024 08:28 PM

First school established in Northport/ Omena
From “A History of Leelanau Township” by the Leelanau Township Historical Writers Group The first school in the area was started by the Rev. George N. Smith. After it was completed it became a focal point, a “headquarters” of sorts for the pioneer settlement. Rev. Smith taught school on the weekdays and conducted his Sunday services and Sabbath school there. Singing school was held in the schoolhouse on 2 evening during the week. The building was also used for Town Meeting, Court proceeding, Indian Council meetings, and the first election was held in the school house, Nov. 7, 1854, when out of 94 polled only cast votes for Temperance and Freedom. 06/05/2024 08:28 PM
