The Huskie Hype Train Rolled Through 🥁🏈 Today, the middle school bus loop turned into a mini pep rally as our Homecoming court, band, football team, and PomPon squad brought the energy with a bold stroll through campus.

Our elementary and middle school students lined the loop with hand-made signs, cheers, and unstoppable Huskie pride—reminding everyone why Homecoming is more than a game, it’s a whole-pack celebration.

Bring that same energy tonight under the lights as we take on Valley Lutheran—let’s rock this Homecoming weekend, Huskies.

Friday Night Lights: Homecoming Parking & Shuttles — Friday, September 19

Homecoming is this Friday, September 19—kickoff at 7:00 PM at Wallace Field/Krueger Track. A big crowd is expected, so here’s the plan to keep things smooth and safe:

When we’re done (future state): Our long-term parking will stretch from the Water Tower to the Historical Society, with overflow near the North Concession Stand and at other school buildings.

For Homecoming (right now): Some of that future parking is unavailable while we build the Performing Arts Center. Thanks for your patience as we make Hemlock even better.

Shuttles: Free shuttles will loop from outer lots to the stadium gates from approximately 6:40 PM until kickoff.

Accessible parking: Designated accessible spaces will be available near the gates (first come, first served).

Pro tips: Arrive a little early, carpool when you can, follow signage and the directions of our staff and volunteers, and consider drop-off near the outer lots to keep traffic moving.

We’re committed to a safe, fun Homecoming for our students, families, and fans. And if you’re hunting for something to grumble about, taxes are always in season—tonight, let’s save our voices for touchdowns and the halftime show.

See you under the lights—Go Huskies!

Good Neighbors

We’re fortunate in Hemlock to have great neighbors who keep a watchful eye on our schools and our young Huskies. At last Friday’s Tailgate by the Lockwood STEM Center—while the Huskie Express was making its rounds—Mr. Mo Erskine stopped in with a surprise: a hand-built Huskie Express replica.

His gift will be proudly displayed in Mrs. Mulvaney’s SLS display case at HHS. He even crafted a mini version for Diane—because kindness comes in all sizes.

Our sincere thanks to Mr. Erskine and to all our neighbors who support Hemlock students and staff. Your everyday good deeds make our community safer, stronger, and more connected.

Friday Night Lights, leveled up — meet Dallas.

This Friday, September 19, we’re dialing in brighter lighting for future night track meets and piloting a supervised play zone—an “auxiliary game at the game” for our elementary and middle school students. Let’s be real: kids have always treated the pavilion like a NASCAR circuit, occasionally clipping the dad balancing three Diet Cokes and a nacho… and splashing that legendary puddle next to the brave mom in white pants (in October—bold choice).

Here’s the plan:
Where: Northwest of Wallace Field
Who: Elementary & middle school students
Supervision: Dallas, HHS senior and all-around good guy who knows names, gives high-fives, and keeps things fun and calm
Gear: Please don’t bring balls—we’ll have plenty
Parents: We still encourage you to watch the game with your kids; this is just a helpful option

It’s a pilot, so we’re learning as we go—thanks for the grace. Brighter bulbs (literally) are on the way. See you under the lights!

A Day for Dax is coming up on Saturday, September 27th at Tommy's Express Car Wash on State Street in Saginaw. Don't miss this great opportunity to honor Dax's memory while supporting students.

All day long a portion of every wash will go to a scholarship fund to support students from Hemlock High School who are going into the trades. With each wash, you're helping build futures.

Tailgate Tradition, Still Going Strong 🏈🌭 Thanks to everyone who rolled into the Lockwood STEM Center for our annual Staff & Family Tailgate—what a night. We had 200+ staff, spouses, and kids, plus a special welcome to the family of our 2025 Hall of Fame inductee, Robert Kilgore.

From face painting and carnival games to ice cream and Huskie Express train rides (and a few surprises Lela wouldn’t tell us about), it was pure #Huskietastic fun from start to finish.

Huge shout-out to Lela Gronski, our volunteers, custodial/grounds crew, and everyone who helped make it happen. Drop your favorite photos in the comments and tag your crew.

See you under the lights again on Friday, September 19th @ 7 PM Kickoff—Go Huskies!
