Four exceptional students from Hemlock Middle School were selected to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. Despite the cold and windy conditions, they were guided by the sentinels and granted access to exclusive areas typically off-limits to the public. This extraordinary opportunity allowed them to honorably represent the Huskies with dignity and respect, showcasing their commitment to tradition and excellence. Their participation reflects the values and pride of our school community.

Our 8th graders are having an unforgettable time in Washington, D.C.! 🇺🇸 From exploring historic landmarks to making lifelong memories with their classmates, it’s been an amazing experience so far. We can't wait to hear about all the adventures from this special trip!

As National Principals Month wraps up, we’re proud to recognize Middle School Principal Lori Gensch.
Earlier this week, Director of Curriculum & Instruction Lindy Beckman and Superintendent Dr. Don Killingbeck stopped by to express their appreciation. Principal Gensch is all-in for kids. She sets the tone with energy, heart, and a relentless focus on learning. She lifts up her staff, partners with families, and makes sure every student knows they belong.
Thank you, Principal Gensch, for the way you lead, love, and push us forward—way to #PullTheSled.
