I have 2 kids in Hemlock Schools. I went to a Saginaw Township school growing up and my spouse went to a Saginaw city school and we are both very pleased with Hemlock. We live in Freeland but are in Hemlock School district. The school size overall is small but the closeness of the students and student families is strong and something we never experienced in the bigger Saginaw schools. My kids are excelling in school and sports. They love their teachers and friends. The relationships/friendships we've built with the other families has been amazing and again nothing we've experienced in the Saginaw city and township schools.

We are so lucky to be in such a great community. My child has a very serious allergy and the school, teachers and principal have all been wonderful in managing this. The lunch ladies have even sought be out on Facebook to talk directly and make sure they are meeting my child’s needs if he chose to eat hot lunch. Very supportive community with not just special requests but also educational. My child is reading, writing and doing math at an educational level higher than theirs. My husband and I loved growing up in a small community and we are blessed to have found another to raise our family in. I would recommend Hemlock public schools to any of our friends and family.

My son started Hemlock middle school this year and I am so pleased with our experiences so far. A great atmosphere for learning and the staff goes above and beyond for students. Thank You HPS!
