Joy Hemmes

I grew up in the Bahamas and lived in several countries and U.S. states before putting down roots in Hudsonville over 14 years ago. My husband, Nate, and I are the proud parents of two sons who have been enrolled in Hudsonville Public Schools since prekindergarten. With a professional background in education, I have taught Spanish and French at the middle and high school levels. I am committed to ensuring the quality of education HPS provides remains excellent and to collaborating effectively with board members and the superintendent to prioritize students’ needs. I strive to be an active and well-informed board member, serving the community that elected me with integrity.
