Lighthouse Academy

Congratulations Muskegon Community Class of 2026! We were are so proud of all of you! Thank you to parents, guardians, extended family, friends, and community supporters for attending graduation and supporting your students.

We are moving! Barry County Community School is expanding to a new, larger facility in the coming months. The new site offers more classrooms and a private regroup space, allowing us to serve more students who have been expelled, long-term suspended, IEP - or court - placed. This location will continue on with Lighthouse’s legacy of providing a whole child approach to education by addressing students’ academic, social and emotional needs. Please watch for additional information on our new facility, including an open house!

Thank you South Campus student body for being SHARKS! You are safe, accountable, and respectful.

JJI students enjoyed the yearly tradition of a students vs. staff basketball game 🔥🏀

We are so grateful for Kendra's teamwork! She supports all nine schools, and her work is invaluable.

Graduates, both past and present, will be honored on the new Juvenile Justice Institute Graduate mural. Congratulations graduates, and we look forward to celebrating many more.

Chad Sturm teaches at the Muskegon Community Building, and we are thrilled to celebrate him as this month's Lighthouse Academy District Values Leader!
