Hemlock Public School District - Innovate, Collaborate, Educate

Today at the State Robotics Competition, Hemlock’s Gray Matter Team #5712 was honored with the Team Sustainability Award, sponsored by Dow. This award recognizes teams that demonstrate sustainable practices with a lasting impact—and Gray Matter has gone above and beyond. From creating shadowing opportunities for new members to maintaining a strong pipeline of students through their robust FIRST program, they’re ensuring their knowledge and legacy live on. They’ve opened their facility to support other teams, partnered with the local water department, and even recycle batteries—showing what it truly means to lead by example. Congratulations, Gray Matter! You’re not just building robots—you’re building a better future. #PullTheSled #Team5712 #FIRSTinMichigan #SustainabilityChampions

Big Friday for Hemlock’s FIRST Robotics Team! What a day on the HSC Field at the FIRST Robotics State Finals! Our team started the day ranked 19th but didn’t let that stop them—they dug deep, worked together, and climbed all the way up to finish 3rd overall! Their grit, teamwork, and determination paid off, earning them a spot as Alliance 2 heading into the finals. We are incredibly proud of these students, mentors, and supporters who continue to show what Huskie pride, persistence, and innovation look like. Let’s keep the momentum going—onward to the finals! #HuskiePride #STEMstrong #FIRSTRobotics #PULLTHESLED

Important Update | After much thought and research, we've decided to rebrand with a creature who truly captures the ethos of our school community; introducing the Hemlock Hamsters 🐹 Fast, fearless, and always on the move, the Hemlock Hamsters embody determination, agility, and the ability to store snacks like champions. 🐹💨 Don’t be fooled by their adorable exteriors—these tiny powerhouses are fierce, focused, and ready to take on anything. With this exciting shift, we’re also unveiling a bold new color scheme: sleek black and striking salmon. Because nothing says power and prestige quite like a hamster in high fashion. Merch is rolling out soon (tiny hamster wheels not included), the student section is already perfecting their battle squeaks, and our athletes are training in speed drills, strategic burrowing, and rapid-fire snack consumption. Get ready, world—the Hemlock Hamsters are here to hustle, and they mean business. 🐹🔥 #HemlockHamsters #AdorableAndDangerous #FearTheFur #HuskieWho? #StillHuskietastic

#FeelGoodFriday | Finding Home at Hemlock 🌟 Through all the busyness of our day-to-day lives, it’s easy to forget just how much impact a teacher can have. They help students feel safe, heard, and valued, guiding them to a love of learning, fostering friendships, and creating a true sense of belonging. For Wyatt and his family, that impact came through Mrs. Kaczmarczyk at K.C. Ling Elementary. Wyatt joined the Hemlock Huskies in late January, and in just a short time, he has flourished in her classroom. As he puts it, "Mrs. K is the sweetest, most kindest teacher I have ever known." Thank you, Mrs. Kaczmarczyk, for making a difference—not just in academics, but in hearts. ✨ Have a “Tell Me Something Good” story to share?
