If you are new to Albion, welcome!
Albion Public Schools were annexed with Marshall Public Schools in 2016. This was a difficult decision. Much of the newly enlarged school district is about 12 miles from Albion.

Weather and Road Conditions Monday 11/11
All evening activities for MPS athletics are cancelled for today. No Boys MS Basketball Practices. No Girls HS Basketball Try-outs. The only exceptions are Girls Swimming and Diving and Varsity Volley...As a community, our hearts are broken today as we share the news of the passing of one of our students, Zachary Winston. Zach was a finance major, a student in the Gerstacker Institute for Business and Management, and member of the Albion College men’s basketball team. Beyond that, he was an extremely charismatic young man with an infectious smile. Zach was a recognized leader who was well known across every facet of our campus, He was a fantastic student with a world of potential before him. He was deeply loved and will be deeply missed.
Albion men's basketball coach Jody May and Athletic Director Matt Arend reflect on the impact Zach had on the Albion community and Albion College.
I want to thank Albion College for putting this up, and reporting on this young man instead of putting it as a side note to his brother. My heart goes out to the family in this difficult time, especially after watching the police responding to this just across the street from my house. It is a sad day for all when something like this happens. Remember this. There are people who are willing to listen. They are willing to help. Call someone, anyone, and see that you are not alone.
Mi hija es una estudiante de Albion y me ciento muy orgullosa de ella ciento mucho la muerte de este jovencito que Dios lo tenga en su santa gloria
Jody, Matt and all of the Albion nation, I mourn with you.
RIP Zach Winston!
Tragic
Just heartbreaking. May his brothers and family, and the community of Albion, find love at this horrific time.
Prayers for the family and the collage
So very sad. Our sympathy to his family.

Allison Lindsey!

After your morning commutes this week so far, which new course do you think we should offer at KCC?
You also need to offer how to park in the winter. I’m not gonna mention the time I got triple parked in on campus 😇
Which semester will it be offered in? 🤔
Isn’t this a question on a nursing exam? All answers are correct.
😂😂
Yes, especially for the first winter drivers.
What's funny is, there are actually votes 😂😂
Rachael Woods
I learned something I have forgotten about 1,2,D3,D. Works so much better and haven't had nearly as much issues as I did this summer.
I mean, either course would really benefit some people! 😂😂😂
ALERT: All KCC campuses will close at 5 p.m. today, Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, and all evening classes and activities are canceled.
Cayla Nousain
So if class starts at 4, will professors penalize for not showing up for the hour between the start of class and the school closing?
Would have been cooler if you canceled class this morning too. I couldn't get to class because of the weather and I have a 40 minute commute to the Battle Creek campus.
Shirley Tripari Ralat need to cancel tomorrow too. 🤞🏼

Karla Kipp Jess Elder fingers crossed it closes tomorrow! 😹
I can’t believe how many times the college has to address that all people attending KCC are either adults or students of the local school districts and that everyone there is capable of determining if it is safe for themselves to attend. If you are in a program that requires mandatory attendance that’s for a good reason as specifically in the nursing department you can’t skip work as an actual nurse whenever you want otherwise you’re leaving patients with minimal care by those who were responsible enough to show up. If you can’t decide if it’s safe to show up on your own please re-evaluate if you are responsible enough to hold a professional job.
