ISHPEMINGNEGAUNEENICE COMM ED DIVISION

IshpemingNegauneeNICE Comm Ed Division is a public high school that is part of the Ishpeming Public School District No. 1 school district, located in NEGAUNEE, MI with about 18 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 3 teachers, IshpemingNegauneeNICE Comm Ed Division has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Ishpeming-Negaunee-NICE Community Education Division is a collaborative educational entity serving the communities of Ishpeming, Negaunee, and the NICE (Negaunee, Ishpeming, Champion, and Ely) school districts in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Headquartered on South Pioneer Avenue in Negaunee, this division functions as a hub for lifelong learning, bridging the gap between traditional K-12 schooling and the broader community. Its primary mission is to offer accessible educational opportunities, enrichment programs, and resources that cater to the diverse needs of area residents, ranging from youth development to adult continuing education.

By pooling resources across these neighboring districts, the Community Education Division is able to provide a robust variety of services that might otherwise be unavailable in smaller, individual districts. This often includes everything from youth sports and recreational activities to adult skill-building workshops, GED preparation, and personal enrichment classes. Ultimately, the organization serves as a vital anchor for the region, fostering community engagement and supporting the principle that education should be a continuous process available to citizens of all ages and backgrounds.
