Small Town. Big Opportunities. BIG Possibilities!

Here's Dana Lockwood putting the fabrication lab to work at the Lockwood STEM Center!

Did you know? This incredible facility was made possible through grants, private donations, and in-kind contributions, demonstrating what can happen when a community comes together to invest in opportunities for students.

And there's a lot more happening inside than you might imagine!

The Lockwood STEM Center features:

Equipped Fabrication Lab

A complete FIRST Robotics Competition Field

A LEGO Lab

A 3D Printing Lab

A Computer Lab

An Electronics Lab

A gathering space for collaboration, learning, and innovation

And more

But what makes this facility truly special isn't just the equipment or the building. It's the opportunities it creates.

We're connecting students with hands-on learning, real-world problem-solving, and experiences that help prepare them for careers and opportunities that may not even exist yet.

And we're just getting started!

We're always looking to build new partnerships with businesses, industries, colleges, and community members who share our vision for the next generation.

Want to learn more about the Lockwood STEM Center or explore how you can partner with us? Give us a call at 989-642-5282.

At Hemlock, we're not waiting for the future. We're helping students build it!

Fresh air. Changing leaves. Cooler days.
Just a few of the little things we love about fall at Hemlock. 🍁

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. Seriously.

Sometimes the job that changes your life isn’t the dream job.

It’s the opportunity before the dream job.

Hemlock Public School District is looking for someone who is hungry. Someone who wants to learn, work hard, grow, and be part of something bigger than themselves.

We’re looking for a workhorse who is ready to help Pull the Sled.

You don’t need the perfect résumé. You don’t need years of experience. You don’t need to have your entire career figured out.

We can teach skills.

What we’re looking for is much harder to teach.

Show up. Work hard. Be dependable. Learn.
Take pride in what you do. Be a great teammate.

Maybe you’re just getting started. Maybe college wasn’t your path. Maybe you’re between chapters and looking for the place that gives you a chance to prove yourself.

This could be that place.

Come work alongside good people. Learn skills that will serve you for the rest of your career. Build your résumé. Build relationships. Build confidence. And get yourself ready for whatever comes next.

Maybe you stay with us for years.

Maybe this becomes the opportunity that prepares you for your dream job.

Either way, get ready for your best life.

If you're willing to work, we're willing to invest in you.

Come Pull the Sled with us.

🍎 Throwing it back to a beautiful fall day at Leaman’s Green Apple Barn.

Our second grade Huskies enjoyed farm fun, cider, donuts, and plenty of learning beyond the classroom.

A big thank you to Leaman’s for helping make it a memorable day.

For this week's #TeacherFeature, we’re heading to second grade to meet Cate Baldwin, one of our K.C. Ling Elementary teachers.

• School days: Cate graduated from Heritage High School in 2020 before heading to Saginaw Valley State University, where she graduated in 2025.

• Favorite subject: Science! And now she gets to share that love of science with her students.

• What she loves most: Those lightbulb moments. There’s nothing quite like seeing a student’s face light up when something finally clicks and they realize, “I get it!”

• Huskie years: This is Cate’s 2nd year teaching and 2nd year as a Huskie.

• Words to carry with them: Cate hopes her students will always work toward having a growth mindset. School and life can feel hard sometimes, but a positive attitude and mindset can make even the tough days a little better.

We’re glad Cate is helping our second graders discover that learning isn’t just about finding the right answer—it’s about being willing to keep trying until the lightbulb comes on. 💡

A SPECIAL NIGHT OF GRATITUDE, FAMILY, AND CELEBRATION

Some names are placed on buildings. Others become part of the story of a community.

The Wolgast family is part of the Hemlock story.

On Friday, October 16, as our Huskies take on White Cloud, Hemlock Public School District will proudly honor and celebrate the Patrick Wolgast Family during a special halftime announcement at Wallace Field.

The Patrick Wolgast Fieldhouse represents more than a beautiful new facility. It represents a family's legacy, a commitment to our students, and a belief in what is possible when people invest in the future of their community.

We are excited to welcome Gail, Linsie, Nick, and their family and friends as our special guests at the Isabella Bank Fieldside Lounge, located between the Patrick Wolgast Fieldhouse and Wallace Field.

During halftime, we will take a moment to recognize the family and express our gratitude for their generosity, partnership, and lasting impact on generations of Huskies.

Great communities are built by people who care enough to make a difference. The Wolgast family has done exactly that.

Join us Friday, October 16, as we celebrate a family whose legacy will continue to shape opportunities for Hemlock students for years to come.

Small Town. Big Opportunities. Hemlock Together.

In the middle of busy days, high expectations, and all the things that matter, there’s something pretty important about making room for fun, being a little ridiculous, and laughing together.

Because belonging isn’t just about showing up—it’s about enjoying the people you’re with along the way. And sometimes, the best memories are the ones that make you laugh until your cheeks hurt.

Principal Green understood the assignment.

We’re not saying he nailed the look… but Mike Walton might have some competition.

Creativity looks good on everyone.
Sometimes it even sparkles. ✨

We love a teacher who isn’t afraid to get a little messy, a little colorful and a lot creative.

Because when kids are given permission to create, they discover there’s more than one way to see the world.

In Hemlock, our schools are where generations cross paths. Where grandparents cheer from the stands, families gather for a performance, and neighbors show up for one another. The classroom lessons matter. So do the friendships, traditions, and opportunities that connect us long after graduation. When we invest in our schools, we invest in the people who call this place home. Small town. Big opportunities. Hemlock Together.

101 Ways to Be Positively Involved in Hemlock Public School District

101 Ways
The Best Way to Tell Hemlock's Story?
Open the Doors and Let People See for Themselves!

Following their regular October meeting, the Hemlock Board of Education traded the boardroom for an inside look at the incredible things happening at Hemlock High School, and what a visit it was.

Led by Principal Keith Green, Board members toured the updated Larry Gariglio Theatre, now serving as our cafeteria space, and connected with Food Service Director Billie Jo Davis. They visited our talented band students, explored the incredible new Performing Arts Center with Director Danyelle Hillman, and wrapped up their visit at the Lockwood STEM Center, where innovation, creativity, and opportunity are coming to life.

But here's what made the evening special.
It wasn't just the buildings.
It was the PEOPLE.

Our students and staff absolutely knocked it out of the park! The pride, professionalism, enthusiasm, and ownership they demonstrated were outstanding. Every stop told a story of what happens when a school community believes in its students, invests in their future, and refuses to settle for ordinary.

Buildings don't create excellence. People do. But when you give exceptional people exceptional opportunities, incredible things happen.

There is a difference between talking about public education and actually walking through the doors to see it in action. At Hemlock, we welcome that closer look because we are proud of what our students and staff are accomplishing every single day.

Thank you to our Board of Education for your leadership, to Principal Green for hosting, and especially to the students and staff who made this visit such a tremendous success.

Small Town. Big Opportunities. Real Results.

This is Hemlock. This is what we're building together. And we're just getting started!
