Colon High School is a public high school in northeastern St. Joseph County, Michigan. It serves the residents of Colon and the surrounding community including Leonidas Township and other rural areas.[3][4] Its high school mascot is Magi, a rabbit (sometimes depicted as a rabbit in a hat). Colon chose this mascot because Colon, Michigan, is the "magic capital of the world". Every year, Colon hosts "Magic Week" where many performers put on displays, skits, and magic tricks for the town and surrounding areas.

Colon High School won the MHSAA Division 1 state championship in eight-man football in 2019.[5]
