Now that you're back to school, Huskies, let's play a round of "Name That Mascot"
Our big, tall, and handsome Huskie mascot needs a name—and we need your help. While he’s been a star on campus, he’s remained nameless… until now.
We’re looking for a fun, creative name that starts with H and fits this dashing guy perfectly. Drop your best ideas in the comments, and let’s name our Huskie together.

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!
