Hemlock Public School District - Innovate, Collaborate, Educate

Every audit, every project, every program reflects our commitment to stewarding resources well. Our hands may be dirty from the work, but the outcome is clear: clean audits, strong credit, and big opportunities for our students.

🎓 Alumni Spotlight | Billi Darter (Hoeppner), a 2006 Hemlock graduate, was an active student-athlete, competing in softball, track, and basketball while also serving as a member of the National Honor Society. She fondly remembers Hemlock’s strong sense of community, close-knit athletic teams, and meaningful connections that came from small-town life.

After high school, Billi earned her undergraduate degree in Elementary Special Education from Saginaw Valley State University in 2011, followed by a Master’s in Education from the University of Michigan in 2015. She credits Hemlock High School for instilling a strong work ethic, time management, and a sense of responsibility—skills that continue to serve her well.

Her favorite memories come from the softball diamond, where coaches Larry and Rudy laid the foundation for her athletic and academic success, teaching her that preparation—not background—defines achievement.

Now in her 14th year with Northwest Education Services, Billi works as a special education teacher supporting students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Her work focuses on building communication, emotional regulation, and functional life skills, making a meaningful impact every day.

Her advice for current Huskies: “Keep striving to do your best, no matter the challenges you face!”

When students are present, they’re building habits, confidence, and connection. Remind them, "You change the day just by showing up." Tomorrow is another opportunity to grow and lead. #GoodAttendanceIsAGamechanger #HuskieAttendance #YourPresenceMatters

Ms. Wilhelmsen and Ms. Taylor had a special visitor this week—Hemlock Business Association Vice President Lindsey Kerry—who dropped off career-focused teaching materials funded through HBA’s classroom grant program.

Thank you, HBA, for supporting our students and staff!

School Bus Safety Reminder 🚍 Understanding school bus lights is crucial for keeping our students safe:

🟡 Amber lights | Prepare to stop. The bus is getting ready to pick up or drop off students.
🛑 Red lights + stop sign | Stop in BOTH directions. Traffic must stop no closer than 20 feet from the bus and remain stopped until the stop sign is retracted.
🚸 Hazard lights | Proceed with caution.

🚦Please be careful and respectful when driving near a school bus—they’re transporting our most precious cargo. Let’s work together to keep our kids safe.

What a day for our Hemlock Marching Huskies 🎢🎶 65 band members spent Saturday performing at Cedar Point—kicking things off with a short but lively parade and concert before enjoying a beautiful fall day and a few roller coasters, of course.

This marks the band’s 5th Cedar Point performance since the tradition began with just 25 students. The trip has grown so much that next year, we’ll need a second bus!

Hemlock Huskie History Fact 🪒 Did you know Hemlock Public School District is older than the safety razor?

Invented in 1895 by King Camp Gillette, this sharp idea led to the creation of the Gillette brand — more than 30 years after Hemlock began educating students in 1863. Hemlock, the best a kid can get.
