What do we do at Hemlock? We listen — and we deliver.
This week, Superintendent Killingbeck, Director of Curriculum & Instruction Beckman, Director of Business Operations & HR Dowdell, and Assistant Principal Sensabaugh stopped by Ms. Wilhelmsen’s kindergarten classroom with some much-needed storage solutions at Hemlock Elementary.
Small needs make a big difference in a busy classroom, and we’re grateful for a team that responds.
Join us this Thursday evening, between 5:30 and 7:30 pm at Hemlock Middle School, for our Community Resource Night — a chance to connect with local organizations and services that support students, families, and our wider community.

This Veteran's Day, we recognize and remember the many members of the Hemlock community who have served our nation with honor, including John Mulvaney, Hemlock High School Class of 1968. After graduation, John proudly served in the U.S. Army. Following his military service, John returned home, where he and his wife Diane (his high school sweetheart) have remained connected to the Hemlock community for more than five decades.
Hemlock’s Mike Walton is a proud U.S. Marine and Head Custodian at Hemlock Public School District. Mike brings the values he lived while serving our country into his everyday work at Hemlock. Mike has been a familiar face in our halls and at our events, keeping our facilities in top shape.
We recognize Colonel David J. Green, a proud Hemlock High School graduate and distinguished veteran with a remarkable record of service to our nation. With seven combat deployments and honors including the Bronze Star Medal and Combat Action Badge, Colonel Green has provided critical legal counsel to the United States Special Operations Command.
Finally, we honor Hemlock High School alumnus and current Board of Education President, Matt Wesener. After graduating in 1989, Matt served in the U.S. Air Force. Upon returning home, he continued his service to the community through various roles, including youth coaching. Since 2012, Matt has been a dedicated member of the Hemlock Public School Board, working tirelessly to enhance educational opportunities for our students.
We extend our Hemlock Heroes to all who have worn the uniform, past and present. We honor those who have served, those who continue to serve, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Your courage and dedication are not forgotten. Thank you for protecting the freedoms we hold dear.

Sometimes you get to know—and work with—a living legend like Thomas Lockwood.
Tom turns napkin ideas into real opportunities for kids. As our “Director of Friendship,” he builds partnerships, opens doors, and helps our students see what’s possible—today and in the future. From the Lockwood STEM Center to hands-on industry projects, his steady leadership has changed the trajectory for our school and community.
Thank you, Tom, for your vision, your grit, and your heart for students. Because of leaders like you, a small town truly has big opportunities.

The first snow of the season — with a little sunshine mixed in — made recess at K.C. Ling downright magical today. Snowflakes, chilly cheeks, warm smiles... our Huskies soaked up every minute. ❄️☀️
Behind every new classroom, lab, and gym is a community that believes in its students. Thank you for trusting us to steward your support well—we are building not just for today, but for generations of Huskies to come. #HemlockStrong #HemlockHuskies #Since1863

Huge congratulations to Mrs. Whitford and her yearbook crew for earning the National Program of Excellence Gold Award from Jostens. 🏆 Their creativity, dedication, and attention to detail shine through every page. Way to #PullTheSled, Huskies.
Each school day offers a new chance to build knowledge and confidence. When students hear, "You are smart, capable, and ready," they begin to believe it. Let’s set the tone together. See you tomorrow for another great week.

What an incredible weekend—sold-out seats for Who Shot the Sheriff? and a whole lot of laughs and suspense! Huge applause to our cast & crew for a standout performance, and a hearty thank-you to Mr. J’s Catering for another spectacular dinner theatre experience.
This was likely our final fall play on this stage as we prepare to move into the new Performing Arts Center later this school year (tentatively mid–late May 2026). The next time you see our students take a bow in fall 2026, it may be under brand-new lights.
