Hemlock Public School District

The Hemlock Public School District was organized in 1863 and is governed by a seven-member board of education elected by the general constituency of the district. The district consists of 120 square miles and is located in five townships that extend into two counties: Saginaw and Midland. Our district has two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The school district is located in the unincorporated community of Hemlock. Most of it is in rural western Saginaw County. Hemlock has about twelve hundred residences and is located in an agricultural and residential setting. The mission of our district is to provide a quality education in a safe and caring environment that will prepare all children for a successful future. The district currently serves 1,224 students. With a commitment to excellence, we offer our students challenging academics and relevant learning programs. At the same time, we believe that education should engage the whole student. Through athletics, drama, technology, music, service learning opportunities and other extracurricular activities, Hemlock Public Schools provides extensive and well-rounded opportunities for all of our students to achieve their full potential. Our underlying philosophy is "Kids First." That means we don't settle for "good enough" because we believe our students, their families, and our community deserve nothing less than excellence. We are continually looking for opportunities to make education better: as a springboard for life, as preparation for higher education and as a positive learning experience for all of our students. We welcome and strive to maintain open and timely communication with our families. Parents and guardians are encouraged to get involved. We have various volunteer opportunities and parent groups that help build close relationships with school administrators, teachers, coaches, advisors and support staff. We invite you to visit our schools to become familiar with your child's everyday educational environment.
