The sophomore Physics and Chemistry classes spent the day at Delta College learning about semiconductors and related careers. The Delta College Stem Explorer program partnered with HSC and SK Siltron CSS to provide students with 5 different hands-on activity stations. Stations covered topics ranging from robotics and automation, the HSC manufacturing process, electrical engineering, and the CSS silicon carbide wafer manufacturing process. Students also got a tour of Delta College and got to try out tools such as the virtual laparoscopic simulator.

We are thrilled to announce that thanks to the Michigan School Meals Program, EVERY child at Hemlock Public School District, pre-K through 12th grade, will now be able to enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast and lunch for FREE!

Not only will this amazing program lighten the load on your wallet (we all know kids can eat their way through a pantry), but it'll save you precious time in the morning.

Now, here's the nitty-gritty: Although the meals are free, we do need all our parents to fill out the new free/reduced lunch application. This data is super important as it helps secure state and federal funding for this fantastic initiative.

Here's to full bellies, vibrant minds, and the #huskietastic school year ahead!

To add funds to your student's account for a la carte items, please use the following link:
