Hemmeter is the oldest school in the district and consists of two schools within a school. One school, kindergarten through grade five, constitutes the district's magnet elementary school for the Advanced and Accelerated (gifted) Program. The magnet program attracts students from six elementary schools within the Saginaw Township Community School system. The second school, kindergarten through grade five, provides a traditional set of classrooms for the Hemmeter neighborhood.
In addition to a sound academic program including music, art, Spanish and physical education, Hemmeter Elementary provides a wide variety of programs for students, made possible in part due to the high rate of parent participation and volunteering. These student activities include Accelerated Reading, technology offerings, service projects, Hartley Nature Camp, fine and performing arts assemblies, and special days designed to enrich the curriculum.
