With the incredible help of Ms. Rolando in the library, Mrs. Hissong's ELA students are doing a book tasting! They visit each genre of literature for only a few minutes while they fill out a questionnaire to determine the genre best suited for their interests!
Ms. Rolando pulled texts popular among young adults from our shelves and students were incredibly interested in the idea of exploring different genres 🤯




Houghton Lake Community Schools would like to give a huge thank you to Better Yards Landscaping and Bella Concrete Construction for their work on Bobcat Stadium's track facility. Bella Concrete donated their time and energy to pour a new pole vault pad, and long-jump border, in addition to installing the pole vault pads and standards. Better Yards Landscaping is on site today filling the long-jump with new sand and restoring it, while also cleaning up all of the landscaping that was impacted during the concrete work.
Both businesses sent large crews to give their time and energy, and HLCS could not be more grateful and appreciative of their commitment to our students, district, and community. It takes a village, and ours is continually special. We are looking forward to watching our student-athletes benefit from these amazing, community-provided upgrades.

HLCS is excited to see community partnerships and community support in action as improvements are made to our track. A huge shoutout to Bella Concrete, who kicked off the renovations on our high jump, long jump, and pole vault areas today. We are grateful and appreciative of their support and outstanding work. Keep your eyes peeled to the HL Sports Boosters page in the coming weeks as they share some track additions that they contributed to this spring.
