Grit, growth, and game time. For some, it opens doors to college. For all, it builds grit, discipline, and heart. Our student-athletes learn leadership and resilience, on and off the field. From Friday night lights to state-level competition, we’re showing what Huskie pride looks like. Small Town. Big Opportunities. #HemlockHuskies #HemlockStrong

🐾 Pawsome Summer Adventures | Little Lucy Massa and her traveling Huskie pal Harlo headed to Southern Illinois this summer, where Lucy served as the flower girl in a beautiful wedding—and Harlo got in on the fun too.

They were so busy dancing the night away, they forgot to snap a photo together… but word has it Lucy made sure Harlo snuck into the professional shots (photographic proof coming soon). From posing with the wedding party to being drawn into the guest book poster, Harlo’s first wedding was one to remember.

We’re Not Done Yet 🚧 At Hemlock Public School District, the doors may be open, but that doesn’t mean we’ve crossed the finish line. “Open for business” isn’t the same as a grand opening—and even a grand opening doesn’t always mean we’re 100% complete.

Some of our projects—from funding to architectural drawings to final walk-throughs—take years to go from idea to reality. Some feel like watching construction is as slow as grass growing. Others think it’s magic: poof—there’s a brand-new building. The truth? It’s somewhere in the middle (usually with a little mud on our boots and a to-do list in hand).

We welcome your feedback—we really do—but we also kindly ask for a little grace and a gentle recalibration of expectations. We’re committed to excellence, but excellence takes time, patience, and yes, sometimes a little more paint.

Thanks for pulling the sled with us. The best is still ahead.

Summer Transformations: A Shout-Out to Makenna Church!

Our campus is buzzing with activity this summer, and it's all thanks to the incredible work of our dedicated summer crews. They're busy transforming our grounds, getting everything ready for an amazing new school year.

Today, we especially want to give a huge shout-out to Makenna Church from the Senior Class of 2025! Makenna put her impressive art skills to work, making the playground at Hemlock Elementary even more vibrant and welcoming for our students. Her creativity is truly making a difference, and we're so grateful for her contribution.

Keep an eye out for more updates on our summer projects as we continue to enhance our campus for everyone.
