The Hemlock Board of Education has an eye on the future and has partnered up with Tower Pinkster, one of the top architecture firms in the State of Michigan to help develop a master plan for the district.
“The process is wonderful and will have the opportunity for input from community members, parents, staff, and even students,” said Superintendent Killingbeck.
The firm has walked the campus and has placed eyes on all of our facilities and outdoor spaces to develop a preliminary plan. They presented their vision for a master plan to the Board of Education at a recent workshop. The preliminary work will help foster the ongoing conversation with community members, parents, staff, and students as we work to gather and utilize all of our stakeholders’ voices in the process of creating a master plan.
Hemlock Public School District wants to honor our past, carrying our rich traditions forward while preparing students for their future. The district has done a lot of work in recent years to become a destination district for families and potential employees. The district has worked to update the K-12 curriculum and teaching materials, become a regional leader in technology, and continues to work to enhance the student experience.
Board President Matt Wesener said, “We have a tremendous responsibility in working with the community and all stakeholders to define the Hemlock experience for the next 20 years. We look forward to these next steps as we focus on creating opportunities for all students.”
The process of developing a facility and campus master plan will be ongoing and carrying into the fall of 2021. This process will also dovetail with the school district’s strategic plan update which will be worked on this fall as well.
