Hemlock Public School District - Innovate, Collaborate, Educate

Exciting things are happening at Hemlock Public Schools. 🍎📚 Principal Lori Gensch is making the move to Hemlock Middle School, where she’ll continue to lead and inspire. Meanwhile, Principal Snider and Assistant Principal Sensabaugh are ready to guide our elementary students to new heights this school year.

We’re especially excited for our incoming 5th graders who will see some familiar faces – Mrs. Gensch and Mr. Hagenow, who's been settling into his new classroom over the past couple of weeks, and who are joined by Mr. Hensler in the newly relocated 5th grade hallway. They’ll be there to support them on their next big adventure.

Here's to a year full of growth, change, and new opportunities. Let’s make it a great one!

We are incredibly grateful for the support and patience of our community as we bring our new Legacy Gymnasium to life. The gym floor is coming together like a giant wood puzzle, and the indoor walking track offers a stunning view of all the action below. 🏀🏐 The new weight room is packed with an impressive array of equipment, ready to help our Huskies reach new heights.

We're not finished yet, but the final product is in sight—and we couldn’t be more excited.

From blueprints to reality, watching our athletic complex take shape has been an absolute privilege. Soon, our Huskie emblem will be set in concrete—literally—becoming part of the foundation where future generations will compete, grow, and make memories. We are deeply grateful to our community for helping to make this dream a reality.

Spotted: Mrs. Newvine’s nephew, Jack Vondette, from the Hemlock Early Childhood Center, found a “Hemlock” sign up in Boyne. Way to represent, Jack. 🐾

At Hemlock Public School District, we believe that access to innovative learning spaces helps students discover their potential. The new additions to the Lockwood STEM Center, including the KEEL Innovation Center, have brought this to life. This spring, students have had the opportunity to explore and create in our state-of-the-art Electronics Lab, 3D Printing Lab, Coding Lab and LEGO Lab. These spaces offer hands-on experiences that help students engage with STEM in ways that are both meaningful and inspiring. By introducing new tools and technologies, we are opening doors to passions students may not have known existed. This encourages curiosity and develops future-ready skills. #HemlockHuskies #LockwoodSTEMCenter #KEELInnovationCenter #STEMEducation #InnovationInEducation

📅 10 days until we welcome students back to a place where they’re known, challenged, and cheered for. Here’s to another year of reaching new heights—together. Big opportunities are just around the corner. #HemlockHuskies #Since1863 #HemlockStrong #Huskietastic

Important Meal Update for Families 🍎
Great news: ALL students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch through September 30th.

However, due to the State of Michigan not yet having a finalized budget, we’re currently uncertain what will happen after that date.

To help reduce uncertainty and ensure your child continues to have access to meals, we strongly encourage all families—regardless of income—to complete a Free & Reduced Lunch Application as soon as possible.

🥪 Apply here: https://hemlock.familyportal.cloud/

The more families who apply now, the better prepared we’ll be for whatever comes next!

Thank you for helping us keep our students fed and focused.
