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.{{cite web |last1=Rietsma |first1=Jef |title=Colon High School students assemble 'essentials' kits for homeless population |url=https://www.sturgisjournal.com/story/news/education/2022/01/21/local-students-assembling-essentials-kits-homeless-population/6586047001/ |website=Sturgis Journal}}{{cite web |title=Colon Community Schools • Page - St. Joseph County ISD |url=https://www.sjcisd.org/District/96-Colon-Community-Schools.html |website=www.sjcisd.org}} 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.{{cite news |last1=Broderick |first1=Bill |title=Colon continues magical season, heading to state finals in 8-player football |url=https://www.battlecreekenquirer.com/story/sports/2019/11/16/colon-continues-magical-season-heading-state-finals-8-player/4214107002/ |work=Battle Creek Enquirer}}
