(Data taken from a Battle Creek Enquirer article dated Sunday, October 30, 1977,
provided by Cheryl Turner.) After three years of fighting, the government had little or no money to pay the officers

who had served their country well. In lieu of money, the government offered bonus land in the “west” for payment. Harper claimed his land in 1834, arriving with his land patent signed by President Andrew Jackson. Moving to the area from Batavia, New York, Harper, along with his eight children, cleared the land and built a sawmill. The 134 acres of land contained meadows, hardwood timber, and a creek. Harper Creek flows from Graham Lake, through Leroy, Newton, and Emmett townships, empties into Minges Creek, and eventually flows into the Kalamazoo River. Local stories tell of a Native American Indian trail that followed the banks of the creek. Fur pelts were carried along the trail and were traded in the Marshall area. Although Harper’s sawmill and log home are gone, the frame house, built on a slight knoll overlooking the site of the sawmill, still stands at 6994 B Drive North. As you drive past, you will see the original barn with its eight-inch square timbers, held together by large square nails. After Harper’s death in 1847, his daughter, Mrs. Harper is buried in the Sandstone Cemetery on 11 Mile Road. When organized in 1949, the Harper Creek Community School district was called the Calhoun Rural Agricultural School District. Guy Morgan, a school board member for nine years, and his family, are attributed with suggesting the name of Harper Creek Community Schools.

🏐💙 Teamwork starts long before the first serve!

The Harper Creek Volleyball team recently kicked off its 2026 season with a team bonding trip filled with practices, team meetings, shared meals and plenty of memorable adventures. From exploring Boyne and Mackinac Island to completing an escape room and taking on a scavenger hunt, the team had many opportunities to laugh, connect and grow together.

These experiences helped the athletes learn more about one another and begin building the trust and teamwork they’ll carry onto the court this season.

We’re excited to see what this group accomplishes together. Go Beavers! 💙🤍🏐

📚💙 We’re almost there, Beavers! 🤍📚

The first day of school is Monday, August 24, and we’re excited to welcome our students back for another great year at Harper Creek!

As families get ready for that first day, here’s an important reminder about our new “Off and Away All Day” expectations for student wireless communication devices:

🏫 Elementary School: Students are encouraged to leave devices at home. If brought to school, devices must be turned off and kept in backpacks.

🔒 Middle School: Devices must be stored in lockers during the school day.

🎓 High School: Devices must be stored in lockers during the school day.

Exceptions will be made when a device is medically necessary or required as part of a Section 504 Plan or IEP.

📵 Phones away. Focus on learning. Safety always.

Parents and guardians can still reach their students when needed by contacting the school office.

As you’re packing backpacks and getting ready for Monday, please take a moment to review these expectations with your student. Questions? Contact your student’s school or visit harpercreek.net.

We can’t wait to see our students back in our buildings on Monday! 💙🤍
