✨ The Hemlock High School Student Council is hosting a Dress Sale on Saturday, February 21, from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM in the High School Commons!
We’re now collecting gently used Homecoming and Prom dresses, shoes, and purses through this Friday. 👗 Community members may drop items off at the high school front office, and current students can bring items to Room 13 to Mrs. Provoast or Mrs. Bell.
Items should be on a hanger and include the seller’s name, phone number, and asking price. Sellers set their own prices, and Student Council will retain 20% of each sale to support student activities—helping students earn money toward future formalwear while making room in their closets.
With Prom on April 11, this is a great opportunity to shop affordably or pass along dresses to another Huskie. Graduates and community members are encouraged to participate.
• Parking: Little Elementary lot
• Entrance: South side of the high school near the bus drop-off

Our School Sweethearts feature this year shines a light on Philip and Katherine Ellison, whose story began in a place familiar to many Huskies—the middle school band room.
Katherine, Class of 2000, and Phil, Class of 2001, first met in 7th and 8th grade while surrounded by instruments, sheet music, and shared interests. Though they were a grade apart, their time at Hemlock was filled with overlapping experiences—from Battle of the Books and Solo & Ensemble Festival to Drama Club and Business Professionals of America.
Katherine also remembers Phil’s playful spirit during football games, when he would wave her drum major mace in hopes of getting on TV. These days, he’s no stranger to the spotlight—but those early moments remain some of their favorite memories.
Now, 30 years since they first met and 20 years into marriage, Phil and Katherine’s story is a testament to growing up together and building a life rooted in shared history.
From bandmates to lifelong partners, their love story is forever part of Hemlock’s story.

Families filled the room, our team delivered a wonderful and informative presentation, and our future Little Huskies jumped right into play time. From exploring classroom centers, to designing their own bookmarks, to enjoying a special goodie bag on the way out, it was an evening full of smiles, connection, and excitement about learning.
There is nothing better than seeing children already feeling at home in their future classroom.
The good news? There is still time to connect.
If you were unable to attend, we would love to talk with you about preschool opportunities at Hemlock Elementary. Space is limited and classrooms are filling quickly, so now is the time to act.
Call the Hemlock Elementary Office at 989.642.5283 to learn more or secure your spot.
Come join the Pack. Where little Huskies learn and grow.

We’ve shared photos from other classrooms, but Mrs. Hammis’ “100-year-old” little Huskies were too delightful not to share.
Learning, laughter, and a whole lot of imagination filled the room that day.

Over the past two weeks, our administrators and secretaries spent time learning, refining, and strengthening the way we handle communication, onboarding, and HR processes across the district. From first impressions to everyday interactions, we’re committed to making sure every experience at Hemlock is helpful, welcoming, and efficient.
When we grow behind the scenes, it shows in every classroom, office, and conversation.

Mrs. Woodcock, Coach Zo, and Principal Green were honored on behalf of HHS during the Saginaw Spirit’s cardiovascular health-focused “Shocks and Saves” evening on Saturday.
We’re proud of the intentional steps our team continues to take to keep students safe, prepared, and cared for—every single day.

At first glance, you might notice the wear on this seat. It's hard to miss.
This chair — like every other one in the Larry Gargilio Theatre — was installed nearly 70 years ago, with a wooden back and seat, about 40 years ago it was updated with the same fabric, all matching.
And time has a way of showing on matching things.
As we plan and build our new Performing Arts Center, we didn’t just think about what looks good on opening night. We thought about what still looks good 50… 60… 70 years from now.
While touring a dozen school theatres, one detail stood out. In one space, the designer intentionally selected four durable fabrics and staggered them throughout the seating. Why? Because wear happens. Accidents happen. Seats get repaired.
And when everything doesn’t perfectly match to begin with, a repaired seat doesn’t stand out.
It doesn’t scream “replacement.”
It simply blends in — because it was designed that way from day one.
This seat has faithfully served generations of students.
Our new performing arts space is expected to do the same — with a little more foresight built in.
Good design isn’t just about how things look when they’re new.
It’s about planning for longevity and respecting the generations of students who will fill these seats long after us.
That’s why.
And we’re proud of it.
On another note, our current theatre seats will be available for purchase. Because of how they were constructed, they are sold one row at a time. Call 989.642.5282 if you’re interested in purchasing a row of theatre seats.
