One of the reasons HSA exists is because there’s so much in our district that’s worth protecting. Hopkins is full of thoughtful educators and creative programs. HSA will raise concerns when needed, but we’re also committed to recognizing what’s working.
Here are some of the many things we value in our district:
Immersion programs in both Chinese and Spanish that give students real-world language and cultural experiences.
Strong arts offerings across grade levels, including choir, orchestra, and theater.
The inclusive playground that makes outdoor spaces accessible to all kids.
The goats and chickens.
The 10-minute independent reading block at the start of each secondary class, a simple but powerful practice that promotes equity, literacy, and focus.
International travel opportunities that broaden students’ horizons and connect them to the wider world.
The school board moving the public comment period to the beginning of board meetings, based on community feedback.
Above all: the teachers and support staff. We repeatedly hear from parents that Hopkins educators are among the most dedicated and thoughtful in the state.
