The Class of 2027 kicked off their last first day at HLCS the best way possible — leading Bobcat Nation at our Back-to-School Assembly! 🐾💚
This class has been a true change agent at Houghton Lake, helping shape our school culture, setting the standard for student leadership, and leaving HLCS better than they found it.
Now, they have one final year to make their mark.
We could not be more excited to see how this incredible group makes their senior year their BEST year yet!
Class of 2027 — lead the way, make it count, and finish strong! 💚🐾

🏌️♀️🏆THE RIVALRY IS ON. 🏆🏌️♀️
For generations, the Roscommon Bucks and Houghton Lake Bobcats have battled for bragging rights.
This year, we're taking it to the golf course.
.Join us for the inaugural Tee'n Up for Teachers: Bucks vs. Bobcats Rivalry Outing on August 28th at White Deer Country Club.
Here's where things get interesting:
✅ Entry fees and sponsorships are split evenly between both schools.
✅ During the outing, golfers and supporters can participate in games, raffles, contests, and other fundraising activities.
✅ Every dollar raised through those activities goes directly to the school of YOUR choice.
🏆 At the end of the day, the school that raises the most money will take home the inaugural Rivalry Trophy and a year of bragging rights.
💰 And yes... The top three golf teams will also win cash prizes.
This isn't about one school winning and one school losing. It's about two communities coming together to support teachers, classrooms, and students—while having a little fun with one of Northern Michigan's best rivalries.
