Soaking up the spring sunshine and a little Huskie friendship ☀️🌼 Our elementary students spent time outdoors plucking dandelions, creating flower crowns and sweet little bouquets.

Big things are happening for Hemlock alum Jacob Kelley.
Last night, Jacob earned the coveted white apron on MasterChef and officially moves on as a contestant. Even better, all three judges had high praise for his incredible dessert, recognizing both his talent and creativity on one of the biggest culinary stages in the country.
From the classroom to the kitchen, it is always special to watch our alumni chase big dreams and represent small-town grit in a big way.
Catch Jacob on MasterChef Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. and help us cheer him on.

At our May Board of Education meeting, we had the opportunity to do something that matters.
We paused.
We recognized.
We honored the people doing the real work.
Each May, as part of National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4–8, 2026), our building principals select one teacher who represents the very best of what we stand for.
This year, we are proud to recognize:
Taylor Kelly | Hemlock Elementary
Courteney Wilson | K.C. Ling Elementary
Ashley Bebow | Hemlock Middle School
Jennifer Whitford | Hemlock High School
These four are different in style, personality, and approach. But they are the same where it matters most.
They show up. They care. They build.
Not just lessons. Not just classrooms.
They build people.
They create environments where students feel seen, supported, and challenged. Where growth is expected and failure is part of the process, not the end of it. Where relationships come first and learning follows.
That is the Hemlock difference.
To Taylor, Courteney, Ashley, and Jennifer, thank you for the way you invest in kids every single day. Thank you for doing the work that shapes futures long after students leave our classrooms.
And to all of our teachers across the district, this week is a reminder of what we already know.
What you do matters. Every single day.

From Hemlock High School to the national stage.
Many in the Huskie Pack may remember Jacob Kelley, a former member of Hemlock’s Gray Matter Robotics Team, Drama Club, and a proud member of the Class of 2020. Tomorrow evening, Jacob will appear on the television show MasterChef.
At Hemlock Public School District, we love seeing our graduates chase big dreams, take risks, and step onto new stages. Whether it is robotics, the arts, athletics, skilled trades, entrepreneurship, or culinary competition, our students continue to show that small towns can produce world class talent.
We are proud of Jacob and excited to cheer him on as he represents himself, his family, and a little piece of the Huskie Pack on a national platform.
Good luck, Jacob. We will be watching.

Alumni Spotlight 🎓 Kennedy Kazmierski, a 2021 Hemlock graduate, was involved in Book Club, Art Club, Theatre, National Honor Society, Early Middle College, and served as Class Secretary her senior year. She credits Hemlock’s staff as the most impactful part of her experience, sharing gratitude for the many educators and support staff who helped shape her path.
After graduation, Kennedy earned her Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a minor in Political Science from Saginaw Valley State University, along with a Global Seal of Biliteracy in Spanish. She says Hemlock’s wide range of courses and strong support system helped prepare her well for college and beyond.
From Spanish class fiestas to performances and school events, Kennedy made the most of her time as a Huskie—creating memories that still stand out today.
Now serving as a Staff Assistant in Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet’s Saginaw District Office, Kennedy works directly with constituents to help navigate issues with government agencies, attend community events, and support meaningful connections between people and public service.
Her advice for current Huskies: “Be scared and do it anyway!”

Monday Memory
Fall of 2022 feels like yesterday.
Under the Friday night lights, in front of a proud Huskie crowd, Hemlock Public School District launched something that had been a long time coming, our very first Hall of Fame induction.
And for our inaugural honoree, it just felt right to start with a legend.
Carl Gippert
For more than 16 years, Mr. Gippert poured his heart, talent, and high expectations into the students of Hemlock, helping shape not only musicians, but young men and women who understood discipline, excellence, and pride in representing something bigger than themselves. His impact stretched far beyond the band room, leaving fingerprints on generations of Huskies. In September of 2022, Hemlock proudly named Carl Gippert as the inaugural member of our Hall of Fame in the Significant Contributors category, honoring him during halftime of a varsity football game surrounded by former students, family, friends, and a grateful community. 
Some people teach notes.
Legends teach standards.
