Our Beaverton football players helped kick off HOCO Day by heading over to the elementary school to greet our younger Beavers as they arrived — and then made their way into classrooms to keep the excitement going!
High fives, big smiles, and plenty of BEAVER PRIDE to start the day!
There’s just something special about our big Beavers showing up for our little Beavers.
HOCO 2026 is officially underway!

Beaverton High School Cancels Home Varsity Football Game Against Harrison Due to Injuries; JV to Play Away
BEAVERTON, MI — September 14, 2026 — Beaverton High School athletic officials announced today the cancellation of the upcoming home varsity football game against Harrison High School, originally scheduled to be played at Beaverton on Friday, September 18.
The decision was made due to a depleted varsity roster caused by a high number of student-athlete injuries. School administrators and the coaching staff determined that the varsity team cannot safely field the minimum number of healthy players required for a matchup this weekend.
The primary goal of the cancellation is to give sidelined varsity players the proper window to rest and recover so that Beaverton can safely and competitively complete the remainder of the 2026 season.
The junior varsity (JV) game against Harrison will still be played as originally scheduled on Thursday, September 17. Kickoff is set for 6:00 PM away at Harrison High School, and the athletic department encourages fans to travel and support the JV squad.
"The safety, health, and long-term well-being of our student-athletes will always be our absolute top priority," said the Beaverton Athletic Department. "While we are incredibly disappointed for our varsity players, coaches, and fans, this difficult step is necessary to allow our team time to heal. We are grateful that our JV student-athletes still have the opportunity to compete this week, and we extend our sincere appreciation to Harrison High School, the Jack Pine Conference, and the Beaverton community for their understanding and continued support."
Information regarding ticket refunds or vouchers for the canceled home varsity game will be released by the athletic department later this week.

Beaverton High School will host the optional PSAT/NMSQT on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, starting promptly at 8:00 AM. Due to strict testing time constraints, participating students must arrive by 7:50 AM.
Why Take the PSAT/NMSQT?
-Build College Readiness: It serves as official practice for the SAT. Historically, students who take the PSAT/NMSQT score higher on their college entrance exams than those who do not.
-Unlock National Merit Scholarships: Juniors who take the exam can qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program, opening doors to prestigious national recognition and substantial college financial aid.
-Access Personalized Practice: Results connect directly to free, customized SAT study plans on Khan Academy, targeting exact areas for improvement.
-Connect with Colleges: Students can opt into the Student Search Service to get discovered by colleges and universities offering tailored scholarship opportunities.
Reach out to either Mrs. Johnson or Mrs. Hargrove if you have any questions.
Please see Mrs. Hargrove by September 8th if you are interested in taking this optional assessment.
Please be aware that the buses are running about 15 minutes late due to loading and construction.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation
