Over the last several months, Ian served Hemlock Public School District with a steady work ethic and a servant’s heart. He started part-time while balancing a college class load, and after graduation stepped in more full-time—always willing to help, always ready to learn, and always focused on doing things the right way.
Along the way, we didn’t just watch Ian grow professionally—we got to celebrate major life moments too. We watched him graduate college, we also watched him marry his lovely bride, and buy their first home. In every season, Ian showed humility, kindness, and the kind of character you can’t teach in a classroom.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be the “parent bird” sending a young one into flight… this is it.
Fly, Ian, fly.
And remember—no matter where your path takes you, you will always be a member of the Hemlock Huskie Pack.
Thank you for everything, Ian. Keep leading. Keep serving. Keep pulling the sled.

⭐ Please help us celebrate Norma Wohlford, our Student of the Month at Hemlock Middle School.
Over the past four years, Norma has shown incredible growth both academically and personally. Known throughout HMS for her caring nature and friendly spirit, she brings her best effort to every class—often sharing a smile (and a hug) along the way. Her strong academic progress and positive presence make her a student we are incredibly proud of.
Way to #PullTheSled, Norma.

Indoor recess still means movement, laughter, and time with friends—proving that fun doesn’t depend on the weather.

Each day, we’re reminded that learning goes beyond lessons—it’s about guiding, encouraging, and helping students discover who they are and who they’re becoming.
We’re grateful to do this work alongside a community that believes in our kids.

We’re now collecting gently used Homecoming and Prom dresses, shoes, and purses through the Friday prior to the event. 👗 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

Congratulations to Senior Victoria Hauffe on a huge milestone tonight—1,000 career points in a Huskie uniform.
In a dominant 71–21 win over the Carrollton Cavaliers, Victoria poured in 19 points, pushing her career total to 1,005. What a moment for a great teammate, a steady leader, and a player who puts in the work when nobody’s watching.
Proud of you, Victoria—and proud of this entire Huskie Pack for the way you played together.
