Is it to cold? How do we decide?
With extremely cold temperatures this week, Hemlock Public School District is monitoring weather conditions to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
In lower peninsula Michigan, schools typically consider closing when the wind chill temperatures reach -20 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for a sustained two-hour period of time around bus pick-up time. If it becomes necessary to cancel school, we will promptly communicate any closures through our usual channels, including email, text, and phone calls, as well as updates on our social media platforms, district website, and local TV stations.
In the meantime, we encourage families to ensure their children are dressed appropriately for the frigid temperatures that will continue throughout the week. Warm coats, hats, gloves, and layers are essential to staying safe and comfortable during this cold snap.
Stay warm, Huskies!

8th Grade Boys Basketball vs Nouvel 1/27

Hemlock 42 out-scoring Nouvel with 30.
In the second outing of our home double header, the Huskie A team also took on the Panthers A team. From the jump this game was very fast paced and high scoring with the lead going back and forth with each score. Sharpshooter Parker Coston hit two huge threes in the first half to keep the game in check with Hemlock down by 3 at halftime. The second half Bo Galbraith came out shooting, scoring several of his 9 total points in this half. Mason Miller controlled the pace of the game scoring 6 points but also dishing out 11 impressive assists. Many of these assists were to Cal McFadden who had a historic statline with 24 points, 17 rebounds, and 4 block shots. Unfortunately, in the fourth Nouvel hit some late shots pushing their lead up until it was too late. Hemlock 51: Nouvel 57.

With 11 seconds left Hemlock had the ball out of bounds, Andrew Ried gave a perfect bounce pass to LeBram James Reidsma, who scored the final layup in the closing seconds of the game. Hemlock beats the buzzer, 20-19
