ICYMI: Giving Old a New Purpose! You know we're all about making the most of what we have! Check out what our awesome team did with the old ticket booths from Wallace Field/Krueger Track. Instead of heading to the wrecking ball, one booth got a second life as our updated community food pantry (located at the Historical Society on the corner of Wilson and Hemlock Road), and the other is now a handy tennis shed! 🎾 Big shoutout to our maintenance crew and Pumford Construction for their creativity and hard work in giving these structures a new purpose and continuing our commitment to resourcefulness. 🙌 Way to go, Rick, Casey, and company! #Repurpose #CommunityLove #HemlockPride #Innovation

Congratulations to Justin Keyes, our Student of the Month at Hemlock High School .🌟 Justin, a sophomore, stands out not only for his positive attitude and work ethic, but also for his passion and drive toward his future career goals. With dreams of becoming a voice actor, announcer, or DJ, Justin has already begun paving his path—right here at Hemlock. Recognizing Justin’s unique ambition and talent, Principal Keith Green offered him the opportunity to take over the school’s daily announcements each morning and afternoon. Justin accepted the challenge without hesitation, and since then, the Hemlock halls have echoed with energy, creativity, and a touch of flair each day thanks to his variety of voices and announcing styles. “This is more than just an announcement—it’s practice for a dream,” says Justin. “It gives me the chance to get comfortable behind the mic, try out different tones and characters, and connect with the school in a way that’s meaningful to me.” Justin’s enthusiasm is contagious, and his dedication to his craft is inspiring. Whether he’s bringing a fun twist to the morning greeting or signing off with style at the end of the day, his voice has become a familiar and welcome part of Hemlock High School’s daily rhythm. Congratulations, Justin Keyes—keep bringing your voice to the world! 🌟 #HemlockHuskies #BetterTogether #BringTheMagic

Real-life lessons in action. 💸 Mrs. Lockwood’s BST class has been diving into a family financial project where students budget for a full month of living expenses.
