HGTV stars Ben and Erin Napier visit MS Coast high school yearbook staff

Ben and Erin Napier are known for transforming historic homes in Laurel, Mississippi, on their hit HGTV show “Home Town.”

But the power couple was on the Mississippi Coast this week visiting students at a local high school.

Ben and Erin, along with their daughter, hung out with the yearbook staff at Ocean Springs High School on Friday.

“We are so happy and thankful that Erin and Ben Napier ... had the chance to visit with our yearbook staff today!” OSHS said on Facebook. The school also posted a photo of students with the Napiers.

This isn’t the first time the Napiers have been spotted on the Coast, and the couple often includes artists from South Mississippi in their designs.

Earlier this year, Erin Napier visited Realizations in Ocean Springs and helped create a Walter Anderson print for a home in the Jan. 2 episode. Pass Christian artist Michelle Allee also had art featured in the home.

“So honored to be included in this HGTV ‘Home Town’ makeover last night. Love this darling duo,” Allee said of the Napiers in January.

Ben and Erin have been making affordable renovations to homes in Laurel on “Home Town” for six seasons, and the show was renewed for a seventh season that begins Sunday, Dec. 4 at 8 p.m.
