Rumor has it, as we open the doors to usher in a brand-new era of the arts at Hemlock Public School District, you just might recognize the smooth, unmistakable notes of a saxophone floating through the entryway.
Word on the street is that between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM during our Soft Opening, the legend himself—Carl Gippert, inaugural Hemlock Hall of Fame inductee and iconic former Band Director—will be filling the lobby with music as guests arrive! 🎷
For over 16 years, Mr. Gippert set the gold standard for music education in Hemlock. As we step into the future of performance in our community, having those iconic saxophone notes set the tone for the evening is as fitting as it gets.
🚨 TICKET ALERT: We are approaching 90% SOLD OUT! 🚨
If you plan on attending the evening soft opening celebration, don't wait—free tickets are moving fast, and seating is almost fully claimed!

As a rural school district, Hemlock Public School District proudly embraces the traditions and values that have shaped our community for generations. From students watching eggs hatch into chicks to bulletin boards decorated with barns, these experiences honor our agricultural roots while creating meaningful learning opportunities for children.
They’re more than classroom projects. They’re reminders that our community’s story matters.
We believe students should be prepared for a future filled with opportunity without ever losing sight of where they come from. The values that define rural communities, hard work, responsibility, resilience, and caring for one another, are the same values we strive to instill in every student.
Our roots run deep, and they continue to shape the next generation.

Around here, leg day is about more than getting stronger. It’s about learning the right mechanics, building good habits and having someone in your corner who knows how to help you do it safely.
Our weight room monitor, Robert Knapik, is doing exactly that — guiding our Huskies through proper technique in the state-of-the-art weight room inside Legend Gymnasium.
Strong bodies. Smart training. Good coaching.
That’s how we build strong Huskies.
#HemlockHuskies #Huskietastic #HemlockStrong #Since1863
Growing. Improving.
Even our walls are getting in on the action.
We’re putting the finishing touches on some larger-than-life additions inside Legend Gymnasium — from murals and photo walls to accent walls and more.
And we’re doing exactly what the wall says:
#PullTheSled.
It’s never parked.
It’s always moving forward.
Just like us.

For Maggie, getting ready for the Saginaw County Fair is about much more than showing up with a lamb. It’s four hours a week at the farm. It’s feeding, walking, bathing, brushing and training Philip — work that started when he was just a few weeks old. It’s learning the patience, responsibility and perseverance that come with caring for an animal day after day.
It’s also a glimpse into the agricultural education happening right here in our community. Philip was born and raised at Schomaker Farms, and Maggie has learned about rotational grazing, nutrition, animal health and the many hands-on responsibilities that go into raising livestock.
We’re proud of Maggie for the dedication she’s poured into Philip and for the skills she’s gaining along the way. This is the kind of learning that happens far beyond the classroom — and it’s pretty #Huskietastic to watch.
You can cheer Maggie and Philip on at the Saginaw County Fair Large Animal Auction on Friday, August 7, at 2 pm. in Chesaning.
Go get ’em, Maggie & Philip. 🐑
