We love it when legends find themselves in the same orbit. ⭐ Lela Gronski, our incredible Executive Assistant to the Superintendent, recently spent time with Jean Dailey, who faithfully served in the same role alongside Larry Gariglio and Reg Rye.
Two remarkable women. Two generations of leadership. One shared legacy of dedication to Hemlock.
We are indeed in the presence of stars.

We couldn’t resist jumping in on this trend.
Introducing #ThisIsWho leads, guides, and builds up our Huskies — a little throwback fun featuring some familiar faces from long before they stepped into the roles they serve in today.
Take a look, meet the team, and see if you can guess who’s who. 👀

Reading Month is off to a cozy start 📚✨ Ms. Schantz’s kindergarten class kicked things off with pajama day and plenty of open books — the perfect combination for building early literacy and a lifelong love of reading.
Snuggled up, tuned in, and turning pages… just the way we like it.

Some teachers never really leave your heart. 🍎 Though it’s been a couple of years since we said goodbye to our beloved Spanish teacher, affectionately known as Profe K, she continues to hold a special place in our Huskie family.
Recently, our Pompon team invited her back as a special guest for their Senior Night performance at the basketball game. What followed was exactly what you’d expect from this community — hugs, smiles, and so much love.
Afterward, she shared, “I will forever treasure this memory and these photos. These kids are just so great, and I miss them.”
The feeling is mutual.
Once a Huskie, always a Huskie. Thank you to our Pommers for honoring a teacher who poured so much of herself into our students.

Innovation starts early at Hemlock 💡 Mrs. Olinger’s 1st graders are diving into their new STEM building activities, and they have our incredible Hemlock Pep Club to thank for making it possible.
Because of your generosity, our youngest learners are building, problem-solving, collaborating, and discovering just how fun hands-on learning can be.
We’re so grateful for a community that shows up for kids in meaningful ways.

Today at Hemlock Elementary, the real stars were not the readers.
They were the listeners.
March is Reading Month is always special, but walking into classrooms today was a powerful reminder of why it matters so much.
Students leaned forward on the carpet.
Hands shot up before questions were even finished.
Laughter filled the room when a character made a silly choice.
Eyes widened at plot twists.
You could feel curiosity.
You could feel imagination.
You could feel confidence growing.
Our students were engaged, thoughtful, and joyful. They asked big questions. They made connections. They encouraged one another. They showed what it looks like to be active learners.
And none of that happens by accident.
It happens because teachers create classrooms where reading is alive. It happens because support staff help create safe, welcoming spaces. It happens because building leadership sets a tone where learning is both serious and joyful at the same time.
One highlight of the day was seeing students get up and move as part of a reading visit. When a story turned into movement and dancing, the room did not lose focus. It gained energy. Students were laughing, participating, and fully engaged. That is the kind of learning environment that sticks.
Moments like today remind us why literacy is foundational. Reading builds confidence. Reading builds vocabulary. Reading builds imagination. Reading builds opportunity.
Most of all, reading builds futures.
We are incredibly proud of our students. The way they listen. The way they participate. The way they represent Hemlock every single day.
March is Reading Month is not about checking a box. It is about celebrating the joy of learning and the power of story.
And today, every member of our Administrative Office staff had the privilege of reading to students across the building. From finance to HR to curriculum to payroll, we were welcomed into classrooms to share stories and be part of the learning.
Hemlock Elementary reminded all of us what matters most.

We love the opportunity to showcase what’s happening in Huskie Nation.
Recently, Matthew Bierlein, our State House Representative for the 97th District, joined Kennedy Kazmierski, a 2021 Hemlock graduate and Staff Assistant to Kristen McDonald Rivet, for a visit with Dana Lockwood and members of our robotics team at the Lockwood STEM Center and newly expanded KEEL Innovation Center.
They also toured the in-progress Patrick Wolgast Fieldhouse and Performing Arts Center with Superintendent Don Killingbeck, seeing firsthand how these future-focused spaces are taking shape for students and the community alike.
We’re grateful for leaders — and Huskie alumni — who take time to see innovation in action and invest in the future of public education.

A record-setting day at JV States for Hemlock Powerlifting 💪🏽 Emma Jaremba made history as our first-ever 140-pound State Champion, totaling an incredible 660 pounds.
Layne Robinson finished 2nd in the 181-pound class and set a new state record with a 360-pound deadlift!
In the 155-pound class, Kaylee Burns placed 6th and Jalynn Bauman finished 10th. As a team, the girls earned an impressive 4th place overall out of 116 schools.
On the boys’ side, Kaiden Knapik and Brayden Stanard both set new PRs in the deadlift, and Andrew Reid claimed 3rd in the 123-pound class while setting new PRs in both squat and deadlift.
Strength. Discipline. Determination. We are so proud of these Huskies for raising the bar — and the weights.
