 The Hemlock Huskies school color-blue continues to grow a shade of green. The Hemlock Public School District received a grant from the Department of Environmental Quality to educate and promote recycling on campus and in the community.

Board of Education President, Dr. Ellison said, “This grant affords Hemlock the opportunity to take better care of our environment for future generations and creates a wonderful occasion for students to learn why this is important.”
