Hemlock, MI – We will begin taking applications on February 2, 2022 for our Early Middle College potential students (also our virtual student/parent presentation date) with a due date of March 25th or until filled. Parents/students can find more information on our website.
History of Hemlock's Early Middle College:
At Hemlock Public School District our focus is on student success and helping our Huskie Pack lead the way to a brighter future for each and every student. In 2014, the school district partnered with Delta Community College to launch Hemlock High School Early Middle College in the fall of that same year.
The program allows students to experience college rigor courses without losing the traditional high school experience.
Principal Keith Green said, “This could be the best thing since sliced bread, and that is saying a lot because I like my bread sliced. It gives students a jump start on college and helps reduce the financial burden on students and their families.”
Students attend courses taught by college professors either face-to-face or online during their junior and senior year and attend the college campus their 5th year.
The Hemlock High School Early Middle College has serviced over 150+ students and awarded over 6,800 college credits at no cost to parents and students.
Hemlock Early Middle College student, Derrick Young said, “The EMC program has been an awesome experience and will allow me to complete my bachelor’s degree in less than 3 years.”
In a day and age with rising post secondary costs this program offers students to get a jump start on their college education and life without incurring the burden of student loan debt.
Superintendent Don Killingbeck, said, “We are fortunate to have such an amazing opportunity that benefits our students and families. To date, we have saved students and families hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
