Flashback to last year’s Homecoming Parade 🥁

The marching band. The cheerleaders. The floats. The flags. The Huskie spirit. There’s just something special about seeing our whole community come together to celebrate Homecoming. It's the perfect picture of #HemlockTogether.

And guess what? It’s happening again THIS FRIDAY.

So grab the family, bring your chairs and candy bags, and come cheer on our Huskies as the Homecoming Parade makes its way through the community, and takes to Wallace Field.

We’ll see you along the parade route.

Nothing says autumn is in the air
quite like spotting flannel on the playground.
And we are here for it. 🍂

Some things just belong together...

🥜 Peanut butter and jelly.
🍪 Milk and Oreos.
🌭 Ketchup and mustard.

And around here?

✨ Huskies and having fun.

The best school days are filled with imagination, laughter, and friendships that make every moment memorable. We'd say these two understood the assignment.

Running into fall like… 🍂

Last year, our middle school teachers took “school spirit” to a whole new level—and hurled their inflatable bodies across the field...multiple times.

We’re not saying it was dignified.
We are saying it was spectacular.

Never a dull moment with our Huskies.

High standards. Big possibilities.

We believe our students are capable of more—and we’re committed to giving them the challenge, support, and opportunities to get there.

“Aren’t you afraid you’re going to get hurt?”

Barb Johnson’s answer?

“Well, if I do, I do. Then I’ll quit. But until then, I love the game.” 🥎

And at 92 years young, our former Hemlock teacher is still playing it.

Barb is the oldest member of the Colorado Peaches softball team — affectionately known by her teammates as “Mom” — and recently took the field as the Peaches celebrated their 35th anniversary.

At an age when most people might be content to cheer from the stands, Barb is still grabbing her bat, stepping up to the plate and doing what she loves.

We think that deserves a standing ovation.

Keep swinging, Barb. We’ll be cheering you on from Hemlock.

Thank you to Rocky Mountain PBS for sharing Barb’s story and giving us another reason to celebrate one of our own.

It's #TeacherFeatureTuesday, and this week, we’re heading to fourth grade to meet Lindsay Davis - a lifelong Huskie who now gets to give the next generation of Huskies the kind of classroom experience that inspired her.

• School days: Lindsay graduated from Hemlock High School (yes, she’s one of our own!) and went on to Saginaw Valley State University. Go Cards!

• Huskie years: Lindsay has been a Huskie since moving to Michigan in third grade, and this is her 6th year teaching—all six right here at Hemlock!

• Favorite subject: History! She loved it so much that she even minored in it in college.

• What inspired her to teach: The great teachers she had growing up. They made learning engaging, encouraged her when things got hard and, most importantly, made her feel loved. Even when she was… occasionally reading library books at her desk instead of listening.

• What she hopes her students remember: Everyone gets a clean slate in her classroom, and no matter where life takes them after fourth grade, Mrs. Davis will always be rooting for them.

We love a full-circle Huskie story—and we know the fourth graders are lucky to have Lindsay cheering them on!

The tradition of grit and grace continues as we launch into Homecoming Week 2026.

We got things rolling last night with our annual Powderpuff Game, where the Junior/Seniors faced off against the Freshmen/Sophomores for a little friendly competition and plenty of bragging rights.

When the final whistle blew, it was the underclassmen who came out on top.

Congratulations to our Freshmen and Sophomores, and a big shoutout to every student who stepped onto the field, played hard and helped kick off Homecoming Week in true Huskie fashion.

Let the celebrations begin!

Happy National Good Neighbor Day 🫶 In Hemlock, being a good neighbor means showing up, looking out for one another and making sure everyone knows they belong.

We’re especially grateful for the seniors who have helped shape our community, supported our schools and invested in generations of Huskies. Their stories, wisdom and friendship are part of what makes Hemlock feel like home.

Today, we celebrate the people who remind us that community is something we build together.

We’re #HemlockTogether.

Friendship is on the menu.
Sure, lunch comes with chocolate milk, sandwiches and approximately 47 different conversations happening at once. But the best part of the cafeteria might be the simple joy of kids being together.

There’s a lot of learning that happens around a lunch table, too.

And maybe dream a little while you’re at it. 🚤
There’s something pretty special about learning with your hands.
In Industrial Arts, students aren’t just learning about things—they’re learning how to make them.

When things don’t go as planned, you pivot.

The team at Tommy’s Express Car Wash, our school staff, and our friends at Cruz’s Kitchen worked overtime to bring a food truck to today’s Day for Dax event. Despite everyone’s effort, it didn’t work out.

So Nurse Becky and a small army did what they do when they run into a problem. They fired up the ovens and started baking.

We have five kinds of homemade cookies, 3 for $2 cash, with proceeds supporting the Day for Dax Industrial Arts Scholarship Fund.

Come see us at Tommy’s Express Car Wash on State Street in Saginaw. The food truck opens at noon and stays open until we sell out, and we would love to see you there for Dax.

📌 A Day for Dax is today at Tommy's Express Car Wash on State Street in Saginaw. Don't miss this great opportunity to honor Dax's memory while supporting students.

All day long a portion of every wash will go to a scholarship fund to support students from Hemlock High School who are going into the trades.

Mrs. Wieland’s 4th graders had a fabulous time exploring the State Capitol this week. 🏛️ From seeing history come to life to learning more about how our state government works, our Huskies were busy making memories and soaking up new knowledge.

We’re proud of our Huskies for representing K.C. Ling Elementary and showing that learning can happen anywhere.

Sometimes, the best things are pretty simple:
fresh air, good friends and a place where you belong.

Here’s to stepping outside, soaking up a little sunshine, sharing some laughs and remembering that connection matters.

There’s something pretty special about belonging to a community that feels like home.
