It's #ThrowBackThursday and today we're throwing it all the way back to the seventies with these snapshots of some of our 1977 senior class.
📷 One of our beloved staff members is featured in this week's throwback. Any idea who it might be?

Hemlock residents will be asked, on Tuesday, February 27th, 2024, to renew the previously approved non-homestead base millage.
The non-homestead millage comprises over $1.8 million of the school district’s annual operating budget. Note that this is not related to the HPSD bond proposal put before voters in May of 2022.
This proposal will not impact the taxes on owner-occupied homes in our district. Only second or rental homes, commercial properties and industrial properties are affected. Renewal of the non-homestead millage is essential to maintaining the current programs offered by the district. If this funding is lost, the district cannot replace it with any other funding source.
While primary households are not affected by this millage, state law requires a district wide election to approve the millage.
📌 Facts at a glance:
• HPSD voters last approved the non-homestead operating millage in 2022.
• The millage is for a period of 10 years
• This is a tax assessed against businesses and second homes, NOT homeowners
• All residents in the Hemlock Public School District vote on the renewal
• This money is used for district operations
• This money cannot be replaced by other funding sources

Congratulations to the National Champions: the U of M Football team.
It's #TeacherFeature Tuesday and today we're featuring the jovial Jacquelyn Ellithorpe, our 5th grade math and science teacher here at Hemlock Middle School.
We wanted you to get to know Mrs. Ellithorpe a little better, so here are some fun facts about her:
• Her favorite subject in school was English Language Arts.
• After the Comedy Central "Substitute Teacher" video came out, everyone started calling her Jay-quel-in as a nickname.
• If she won the lottery and decided to give up teaching, she’d want to own a bookstore/coffee shop/flower shop/cat café (where, of course, you could adopt the cats too). She wants to open a huge place where she can have all the things she loves in one place.
• Her worst fashion decision ever was cutting her own side bangs in middle school.
• Her favorite animal is a panda.
We’re so thrilled to have you in our Huskie Pack, Mrs. Ellithorpe!
