Stewardship is more than numbers—it’s relationships, it’s resources, it’s responsibility. And in Hemlock, it’s about creating opportunities for every student to shine. 🌟

At Hemlock Public School District, we believe support shouldn’t stop when the school day ends. That’s why we’re offering a 24/7 crisis line through our partnership with Gaggle ReachOut.
No matter the time, no matter the reason—you have someone to talk to. This line is private, judgment-free, and always open. Because every student deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported.
🍂✨ Our 2nd graders are learning to Fall into Healthy Habits. From goal setting to daily choices, these Huskies are building skills that will last a lifetime. 🐾
Hemlock Public School District presented at the MSBO Facility Conference with Director of Buildings & Grounds Rick Crofoot and Superintendent Don Killingbeck.
Our session, “Duct Tape, Data, and Destiny: Leading Facilities Like a Legend,” combined humor with hands-on, day-one strategies. Above all, education is a relationship business. Facilities leadership serves students first—every decision, every checklist, every repair.

Thank you, Hemlock Business Association, for investing in our classrooms! Superintendent Killingbeck stopped by Mrs. Chludil’s room to deliver the items funded through HBA’s teacher grant—cue one very excited class and one very happy teacher. These resources turn good lessons into great ones and help our Huskies learn by doing. Grateful partners. Big smiles. Bigger impact.
Legend Gymnasium update: the upper-deck, three-lane walking track is taking shape! This space will offer students, athletes, and community members a safe place to train, warm up, and cheer on the Huskies with a great view. Thanks to our partners and supporters for helping us bring this vision to life—more good things ahead for Hemlock.
🌟 Congratulations to Scarlett Horenziak-Hystad, our K.C. Ling Elementary Student of the Month.
Scarlett is a 3rd grader in Mrs. Hammond’s class, who shared, “Scarlett is thoughtful and kind to her peers and always respectful to adults, peers, and property. She tries her best to achieve success each day and is super friendly and helpful. Scarlett brings joy and good vibes to our classroom and school.”
Congratulations to Coach Hyatt and our Boys Varsity Soccer team on a gritty MHSAA Districts Game 1 win! The Huskies traveled to take on the Laingsburg Wolves and came out on top, 1–0. A true battle of wills—disciplined defense, relentless effort, and the Huskie Pack found a way. Proud of this group. Onward.

Mrs. Hammis’ kindergarten class had a blast during Fire Safety Week 🔥🚒 Students learned about checking smoke detectors, choosing a family meeting spot, and the importance of “stop, drop, and roll.” Then it was time for the best part — exploring the fire truck and testing out the hose. 💦
A big thank-you to our local firefighters for helping our youngest Huskies learn how to stay safe.
🧺 Thursday evenings are for fall strolls, good food, and community. 🍂 Shop local produce, meats, breads, and all your favorite fall finds at the Hemlock Farmer’s Market, open from 4–7 PM at the red barn. #HemlockHuskies #HemlockStrong #SupportLocal

📚 Our 3rd and 4th graders put their library skills to the test during a library scavenger hunt at K.C. Ling Elementary. ✨
Using their Chromebooks, students searched the library website by subject, author, and call number—then set out to find those books on the shelves and record what they discovered. A fun way to learn, explore, and build confidence as independent readers.
#ThrowbackThursday 🏈 We were honored to have members of the undefeated 1974 Hemlock football team join us Friday night for the ribbon cutting of Wallace Field and Krueger Track.
Having played under Coach Bob Wallace and Coach Don Krueger, it was only fitting that they helped dedicate the facilities that now bear their names. A special moment celebrating legacy and leadership.
Hemlock Public School District is delighted to welcome Mia Barrera to our Early Childhood program and Hemlock Elementary School building. Ms. Mia will be working to support the program in the classrooms and office. Join us in making her feel welcome.

🍎 Mrs. Chludil’s students had a blast exploring Apple Science Day! From hands-on experiments to sweet discoveries, learning was as fun as it was delicious. 💡✨
📚 Mrs. Sensabaugh visited Ms. Schantz’s kindergarten class to read Stick and Stone — a heartwarming story about friendship. Our kindergartners learned the importance of sticking up for one another and being a good friend. ✨
Hemlock Huskie History Fact 🕰️ Did you know Hemlock Public School District is older than Scotch Tape? Invented in 1930 by 3M engineer Richard G. Drew, this sticky staple didn’t exist when Hemlock opened its doors in 1863.
We enjoy hands on learning opportunities, using manipulatives and preferred tasks, to help students in Mrs. Wilson's classroom get a deeper understanding of equal groups, and sharing equally when tackling multiplication and division. Ms. Lisa is always a big help in supporting Mrs. Wilson and the students each day. We L🫶🏻VE trying new and challenging things in our classroom.

🧠 Juniors Laini Wardin and Ryleigh Bain, Medical Careers students at the Saginaw Career Complex, got creative while exploring how parts of the body function.
Using their knowledge of cell organelles, they came up with clever everyday comparisons — like the “Lunch Lady,” representing the endoplasmic reticulum because both package and deliver (in this case, snacks and proteins).
We love seeing our Huskies bring learning to life in such imaginative ways.
