As another successful school year comes to a close, our school offices will transition to summer hours before reopening in August. While our buildings may be quieter during the summer months, our commitment to serving students, families, and our community never takes a break.
To ensure that parents and community members have opportunities to receive assistance, enroll new students, ask questions, or conduct school business, staff members will be available on-site with the lights on at each building on the following dates:
Hemlock Elementary | K.C. Ling Elementary | Hemlock Middle | Hemlock High
July 15, 22, and 29 from 7:00 am - 11:00 am and 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Whether you are registering a new student, completing paperwork, seeking information, or simply need assistance, we encourage you to stop by during these scheduled office hours. Our team will be happy to help.
Of course, many district services remain available online throughout the summer, and messages left with the district will continue to be monitored.
Summer is an important time for rest, family, and preparation for another outstanding school year. Our staff will continue planning, maintaining our facilities, and making sure that when students return, they are welcomed into schools ready to learn from day one.
We wish everyone a safe, enjoyable, and memorable summer, and we look forward to welcoming the Huskie Pack back together this fall.

Listening is not weakness.
Listening is leadership.
It takes discipline to pause.
It takes courage to hear hard things.
It takes vision to turn feedback into forward motion.
That is exactly how Hemlock 2026 and Beyond was built.
Not behind closed doors.
But through conversations, feedback, and a community committed to kids.

And we lead boldly.

A new week means another summer #MugshotMonday ☕
This summer, we're highlighting some of the local businesses, organizations, and community partners that make our corner of the world such a great place to be.

At their regular June meeting, the Hemlock Board of Education took time to recognize three individuals whose impact reaches far beyond wins, miles, or job titles. They have each helped shape the Hemlock experience for countless students and families.
🚌 Transportation Director Carolyn Donoghue was honored for more than a decade of faithful leadership, guiding our transportation team and ensuring that thousands of students arrive safely each day. Long before the first bell rings and long after the final dismissal, Carolyn and her team keep the wheels of Hemlock turning.
🎾 Varsity Tennis Coach Dean Rusch was recognized for building a program defined by excellence, discipline, and sportsmanship. Under his leadership, Hemlock Tennis has become one of the premier programs in the region, developing champions on the court and outstanding young people off of it.
🥎 Varsity Softball Coach Larry Graf was honored for his dedication to one of Michigan's most respected softball traditions. His commitment to hard work, teamwork, and high expectations has produced championship-caliber teams while leaving a lasting impact on generations of student-athletes.
Schools are built by people who quietly show up, lead with purpose, and invest in others every single day. Tonight, the Board recognized three of the very best.
Small Town. Big Opportunities.

Recently, the Lockwood STEM Center had the privilege of hosting leaders from Hemlock Semiconductor and several of their corporate partners for a Lunch & Learn focused on the future of education, workforce development, innovation, and opportunity.
What made the day special was that our students took center stage.
Student leaders welcomed guests, showcased the Lockwood STEM Center, demonstrated the incredible learning opportunities taking place within our walls, and shared firsthand how hands-on experiences in STEM, robotics, engineering, coding, and career exploration are helping prepare them for the future. There is simply no better way to tell the story of Hemlock than through the voices of the students who are living it every day.
The partnership between Hemlock Public School District and Hemlock Semiconductor has helped create opportunities that many communities only dream about. Together, we are building a talent pipeline, expanding career awareness, creating authentic learning experiences, and helping students discover pathways that connect classroom learning to future careers. HSC's commitment to workforce development, community engagement, and STEM education continues to make a lasting impact on our students and our region.
A special thank you to Brooke Beebe for helping create the opportunity for the gathering and for her continued leadership in strengthening connections between education, industry, and community. Through partnerships like these, we continue to demonstrate what is possible when schools and business leaders work together with a shared vision for student success.
Small Town. Big Opportunities.
The future isn't something we wait for.
It's something we build together.

It may have been the end of the school year, but we continue to listen and deliver with our classroom makeovers. Superintendent Killingbeck and Director Beckman stopped by Mrs. Dixon's, Mrs. Jurek's, and Mrs. Garrett's classroom to deliver a makeover per their request.

Linked arms, big smiles, and the sweetest friendships.
With the school year having come to a close, it’s moments like these on the playground that remind us what makes Hemlock so special. We’ll miss seeing our Huskies learn, laugh, and grow together this summer — and we can’t wait to welcome them back this fall for more memories and friendships ahead.

Some of the best ideas do not come from the board room.
They come from classrooms.
Hallways.
Bus rides.
Ball fields.
Lunch tables.
That is why the Huskie Pack keeps listening.
Because when we truly hear one another, we build something stronger than schools.
We build culture.
We build trust.
We build community.
Those voices helped shape our Strategic Plan, 2026 and Beyond.

Riding into summer break like… ☀️🚲
With the last day of school almost under our belt, we’re grateful for a community who continues to show up for our students in every season—celebrating their growth, supporting their learning, and trusting us to walk alongside them each step of the way.
As we shift into summer, we’re still here doing the work—preparing, improving, and planning for what’s ahead. And we’re looking forward to welcoming students back to even more opportunities, experiences, and growth in the fall.
Enjoy the sunshine, Huskies!

Staff appreciation does not start with a golf outing, a tailgate, a food truck, or any special event.
It starts every day.
It starts with caring deeply about people. It starts with believing the best in one another. It starts with supporting each other through challenges, celebrating successes, and creating a culture where people know they matter.
That said, spending an afternoon together on the golf course is a pretty good way to celebrate an amazing team.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our annual Huskie Pack Staff Golf Outing. The laughs were plentiful, the competition was friendly, and the Huskie pride was on full display.
We are especially grateful to our event sponsors for helping make the day possible.
Thank you to Wolgast Corporation, SERVPRO, Jolt Credit Union, and our longtime partners at HSC/DuPont for their continued investment in our staff, students, and school community.
Congratulations to our winners:
🏆 Longest Putt

Special thanks to Lela Gronski and Laura Schauld from the North Office for coordinating countless details behind the scenes, Billie Jo and crew for an outstanding lunch and desserts, and the team at Valley View for being wonderful hosts.
The best part of any school district is its people. We are fortunate to work alongside an incredible group of educators, support staff, coaches, custodians, office professionals, food service team members, bus drivers, and administrators who show up every day for kids.
Thank you for all you do.
