There’s something about crisp air, colorful trees, and a little extra time outside. 🍂
Fall, we’re glad you’re here.

✨ Congratulations to our Hemlock Elementary Student of the Month, Opal Smith ⭐
She is kind, helpful, and respectful, bringing so much happiness to her classroom. Always thoughtful of others, she has a special way of making those around her feel valued and included. She makes her classroom a better place simply by being herself, and we’re so happy to celebrate her!

Middle school is where students discover their strengths, find their confidence, and begin to see what is possible. Great leadership helps make that happen.
As part of National Principals Month, Superintendent Dr. Don Killingbeck stopped by Hemlock Middle School to personally thank Principal Lori Gensch for her leadership and dedication to our students, staff, and families.
Leading a middle school takes heart, patience, high expectations, and a belief in every student’s potential. Principal Gensch brings those qualities to the work of building a school where students feel connected, teachers feel supported, and growth is celebrated.
Her impact reaches beyond these middle school years. It helps lay the foundation for the learners, leaders, and people our students will become.
Please join us in thanking Principal Gensch for helping our Huskies grow into their next chapter.
Small town. Big opportunities. Exceptional people.

From Adam Sandler Day to Anything But a Backpack Day, our high school students brought the spirit all week long! 🎒
Safe to say, the Huskie Pack knows how to have some fun.

Some people keep a school running.
Some people make it feel a little more like home.
Our middle schoolers have a whole lot of love for Mr. Wayne, and honestly… we get it.
We’re pretty lucky to have you, Mr. Wayne.

ICYDK | The Lockwood STEM Center is more than a place for our students to learn. It's also a regional hub for STEM education, teacher training, and collaboration.
Last Friday, educators from across Mid-Michigan joined us at the Lockwood STEM Center for a High Tech Talent Initiative (HTTI) workshop focused on micro: bit, sensors, coding, and hands-on computer science.
The teachers weren't just sitting and listening. They were working with the technology, experimenting, solving problems, and exploring ways to bring these experiences back to their own classrooms.
One of the things I'm most proud of is that the Lockwood STEM Center isn't just creating opportunities for Hemlock students. We're also helping support teachers and students throughout our region.
When we bring educators together, share resources, and learn from one another, everyone benefits. That's what collaboration should look like!
A big thank you to the educators who spent their Friday learning something new and to everyone helping make the Lockwood STEM Center a resource for our entire region.
Small Town. Big Opportunities. Regional Impact.

🏃♂️ What a day for Hemlock Cross Country 🏃♀️
Our boys finished 4th out of 25 teams at the Birch Run Fall Invitational, earning a trophy and making a statement among some of the top programs in the state. Three of the teams ahead of them are ranked in the top 10 in their respective divisions.
And the PRs kept coming. Several Huskies posted lifetime or season-best times, including Henry Salowitz, who dropped an incredible 1:46 off his lifetime best while returning from injury.
Our girls had a strong day, too, with several PRs and medal-worthy performances.
The work is showing. The Huskies are running strong as they continue to #PullTheSled.

Huskie Pride is often palpable in the air around here.
And it isn’t tied to a grade, a trophy, or a final score. It’s rooted in something bigger—a community that believes in the whole child, pursues excellence, and embraces innovation.
That’s Huskie Pride. And it belongs to all of us.

Let’s go, ladies! ⛳
In just our second year of girls golf, the Hemlock Huskies are heading to the Division 4 State Finals ranked 8th in the field.
These young women are building a program and making school history. We’re proud of their hard work, determination, and the way they represent Hemlock.
Bring your best, enjoy the moment, and keep making your mark.

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Seriously.
Sometimes the job that changes your life isn’t the dream job.
It’s the opportunity before the dream job.
Hemlock Public School District is looking for someone who is hungry. Someone who wants to learn, work hard, grow, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
We’re looking for a workhorse who is ready to help Pull the Sled.
You don’t need the perfect résumé. You don’t need years of experience. You don’t need to have your entire career figured out.
We can teach skills.
What we’re looking for is much harder to teach.
Show up. Work hard. Be dependable. Learn.
Take pride in what you do. Be a great teammate.
Maybe you’re just getting started. Maybe college wasn’t your path. Maybe you’re between chapters and looking for the place that gives you a chance to prove yourself.
This could be that place.
Come work alongside good people. Learn skills that will serve you for the rest of your career. Build your résumé. Build relationships. Build confidence. And get yourself ready for whatever comes next.
Maybe you stay with us for years.
Maybe this becomes the opportunity that prepares you for your dream job.

🍎 Throwing it back to a beautiful fall day at Leaman’s Green Apple Barn.
Our second grade Huskies enjoyed farm fun, cider, donuts, and plenty of learning beyond the classroom.
A big thank you to Leaman’s for helping make it a memorable day.

For this week's #TeacherFeature, we’re heading to second grade to meet Cate Baldwin, one of our K.C. Ling Elementary teachers.
• School days: Cate graduated from Heritage High School in 2020 before heading to Saginaw Valley State University, where she graduated in 2025.
• Favorite subject: Science! And now she gets to share that love of science with her students.
• What she loves most: Those lightbulb moments. There’s nothing quite like seeing a student’s face light up when something finally clicks and they realize, “I get it!”
• Huskie years: This is Cate’s 2nd year teaching and 2nd year as a Huskie.
• Words to carry with them: Cate hopes her students will always work toward having a growth mindset. School and life can feel hard sometimes, but a positive attitude and mindset can make even the tough days a little better.
We’re glad Cate is helping our second graders discover that learning isn’t just about finding the right answer—it’s about being willing to keep trying until the lightbulb comes on. 💡
