🎓 Class of 2030… this is a big moment.
And parents—we see you. This decision carries *weight*. Excitement. A few nerves. Maybe a quiet “how did my kid get this big already?” moment in the kitchen.

Choosing a high school isn’t just about schedules and lockers.
It’s about who your child will become, who will know their name, who will challenge them, cheer for them, and walk alongside them during some of the most formative years of their life.

So come walk the halls.
Meet the people.
Ask the questions.
Get a feel for the place your student may call home for the next four years.

We promise:
✔ A welcoming environment
✔ High expectations with real support
✔ A community that cares deeply about kids
✔ And yes… school spirit that shows up loud and proud

📍 Freshman Orientation – Class of 2030
🗓 Wednesday, February 4, 2026
🕢 7:30 PM
🎭 High School Theatre

We’ll help you picture the next chapter—together.
And maybe remind you that while this step feels big… you don’t have to take it alone.

Every class you go to is a step toward something better
Our beloved intern, Ian Schoenmeyer, is taking the next step in his career journey. For us, it’s a mix of emotions—we’re sad to see him go, but we’re also genuinely delighted to watch him launch.

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.

📘 It’s #ThrowbackThursday and today we’re flipping to the 2005 yearbook.

From homecoming outfits to the legendary Hat Club, these Huskies knew how to show up, stand out, and have a little fun with their style. Some things never change.

❄️ When it’s too cold to head outside, our Huskies bring the energy indoors.

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

It’s a true honor to steward and educate the next generation.

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.

✨ The Hemlock High School Student Council is hosting a Dress Sale on Saturday, February 21, from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM in the High School Commons!

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

More info? Email provoast@hemlockps.com

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.
