Huskie Pack… slight update. Spring Break isn’t even over until Tuesday… and somehow the global KitKat shortage happened during the break. Coincidence? We’ll let you decide. We checked on Hutch again: •still on break •still relaxed •still refusing to answer questions And now… he’s saying he’s “not quite ready to come back yet.” We are not making any accusations… but 413,793 KitKats don’t just disappear… and neither does Hutch during Spring Break. All we’re saying is: If he shows up Tuesday with chocolate on his paws and zero regrets… we may have our answer. Until then… enjoy the break. Hutch definitely is. #HuskiePack #PullTheSled #HaveABreak #StillOnBreak

This role isn’t about a title or the spotlight.

It’s about showing up—for kids—every single day.

At Hemlock Public School District, we’re looking for someone who knows the “small” things are actually the big things:

Sitting with a struggling student
Helping classrooms run smoothly
Stepping in wherever the team needs you

Your work creates a place where kids feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. You become a steady, trusted presence—and that changes everything.

We want someone dependable, positive, communicative, and ready to jump in. If you have patience, grit, and a heart for kids—this could be the place for you.

Be part of something bigger. Join the Huskie Pack.

#PullTheSled #HuskieStrong #HemlockLegends

Since 1863. Built to Last.

Important Update | After continued reflection and extensive mascot research, we’re excited to introduce a new symbol of Hemlock pride:

The Hemlock Hedgehogs 🦔

Small but mighty, calm under pressure, and always ready to roll when things get tough, Hedgehogs represent resilience, focus, and the ability to protect what matters most.

With this bold new direction comes an equally bold color palette: black and tactical taupe - high contrast meets high control. Loud when it matters. Quiet when it counts.

Merch requests are already coming in (protective spines sold separately), students are practicing their defensive stances, and our teams are learning the fine art of strategic curling.

Don’t underestimate the Hedgehog.

It takes all of us.
Families. Staff. Students. Neighbors.
Here’s one more way to help move Hemlock forward.

#HemlockStrong #HemlockHuskies

Forty years ago, something uncommon happened.

A school.
A community.
A partner.

They decided not to work alongside each other…
but to work with each other.

Not for a moment.
For the long haul.

Since 1986, HSC, Hemlock Public School District, and DuPont have quietly built something that most places never do.

Not a program.
Not an initiative.

A relationship.

Enduring.
Impactful.
Intentional.

Forty years of showing up.
Forty years of adapting.
Forty years of choosing to invest… not because it was easy,
but because it mattered.

This wasn’t built on headlines.
It was built on trust.

On people who believed that students deserved more.
That a small town could think bigger.
That partnership, done right, changes everything.

And it has.

Generations of students.
Opportunities that didn’t exist before.
A community that continues to move forward… together.

Forty years later, the work is not finished.

It’s just getting started.

Small Town. Big Opportunities.
#PullTheSled

There are two types of people in middle school Those trying not to knock the tower over And those pretending they meant to Right here is our middle school principal, calm under pressure, steady hands, and just enough bravery to pull that block Jenga champion on the table Confidence builder in the hallways Helping awkward pre teens find their footing, their voice, and yes, occasionally reminding them not to poke the tower just to “see what happens” One move at a time One student at a time That is how you build something that lasts #PullTheSled

Mason District Champions. Let that sink in. Hemlock’s Gray Matter just went out and took it. No shortcuts. No excuses. Just a group of students, mentors, and leaders who showed up, stayed locked in, and delivered when it mattered most. This is what it looks like when preparation meets grit. And on top of that, Engineering Inspiration Award winners. That is not just about building a great robot. That is about building a program that inspires, includes, and elevates others. That is culture. That is impact. They didn’t just compete. They owned the moment. Proud of our students for their focus and toughness. Proud of our mentors for pouring into them. Proud of Coach Trombley for leading a program that continues to raise the bar for what’s possible. Small Town. Big Opportunities. Next stop, States at SVSU. Then it is on to Worlds in Houston. Keep pulling the sled.

Finals bound. At the Mason District, Hemlock’s Gray Matter just did something special. One of our robots goes down before the match. We are running at two thirds strength. Most teams would survive. Our team went and dropped 353. That is not surviving. That is attacking. It does not matter who you put in front of this group. You could line up the best defender in NBA history, Kawhi Leonard or Dennis Rodman, and it would not slow this down. This looked more like Wayne Gretzky in his prime. Precision. Vision. Finish. Athena was lights out. Draining shots all day. Calm. Confident. Relentless. This is what happens when preparation meets grit. Students. Mentors. Coach Trombley. All locked in. All pulling the sled. Finals in our grasp. Let’s go.

While many are enjoying a well deserved spring break, Hemlock’s Gray Matter is doing what they do best, competing, learning, and pushing limits at the Mason District FIRST Robotics event this weekend. After six matches, Team 5712 is sitting strong in 3rd place out of 40 teams. That does not happen by accident. That is the result of long hours, problem solving, teamwork, and a commitment to getting better every single day. This group represents what is best about Hemlock. Students who show up, put in the work, and chase something bigger than themselves. Mentors who invest their time, knowledge, and energy to guide and support. And leadership from Coach Trombley that continues to build something special through passion, vision, and belief in kids. This is STEM in action. This is learning that sticks. This is what happens when opportunity meets effort. Keep grinding, Gray Matter. We are proud of you. #PullTheSled

Ten years ago, in a moment of bold leadership and questionable judgment, we duct taped Principal Green to the wall. Not a little tape. Full commitment. Layers. Structural integrity. What we still do not know is this. Who helped get him down. Some say it was a staff member. Some say it was teamwork. Some say he is still up there in spirit, watching the halls and judging tardies. It remains one of the great unsolved mysteries. As we head into spring break, may this memory make you laugh. Enjoy the rest, enjoy the sunshine, and enjoy not being stuck anywhere you do not want to be. And when we come back, may we all be as excited to leave winter behind as Principal Green was to leave that wall. Have a great break.

There is a certain kind of person this role is built for.

It is not about a title.
It is not about standing at the front of the room.

It is about showing up for kids… every single day.

At Hemlock Public School District, we are looking for someone who understands that the little things are actually the big things.

Sitting next to a student who is struggling and not giving up on them.
Helping a classroom run smoothly so learning can happen.
Stepping in, stepping up, and doing whatever it takes to support the team.

This role matters more than most people realize.

You are helping create a space where kids feel safe, supported, and ready to learn. You are part of the engine that keeps a school moving forward. You are another trusted adult in a child’s life—and that changes everything.

The work is real.
The days can be busy.
The impact is undeniable.

We are looking for someone who is dependable, positive, and willing to jump in and help wherever needed. Someone who communicates well, works hard, and cares deeply about students and staff.

If you have patience, grit, and a heart that leans toward kids…
This might be exactly where you belong.

Come be part of something bigger than yourself.
