Greetings Eagle Families,

Welcome to our new families and welcome back to our returning families. As we embark on this journey together, I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you. Our journey together at Hopkins Middle School is marked by a commitment to excellence and a dedication to nurturing the potential within every student.

Our theme this year is "Soaring to NEW Heights in a Race to the Top!" Our eagle spirit soars higher than ever. Our mascot symbolizes courage, wisdom, and a vision for excellence, qualities that resonate deeply with our commitment to meet the individual needs of every student.

At Hopkins Middle School, we proudly uphold the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB) World School Program. This framework encourages critical thinking, global awareness, and a passion for lifelong learning. Through IB, our students develop into thoughtful, principled leaders ready to make a positive impact on our community and beyond.

Additionally, we continue to champion the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program, which empowers students to achieve academic excellence while fostering skills such as organization, collaboration, and leadership. AVID prepares our students for success in high school, college, and future careers by equipping them with the tools necessary to excel in a diverse and rapidly changing world.

As we embark on this new school year together, let us remember that each of us play a vital role in creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Together, we celebrate diversity, cultivate curiosity, and inspire a passion for learning that extends far beyond the classroom.

I am excited about the possibilities that await us this year and look forward to witnessing the growth and achievements of each student. Let's make this year unforgettable as we spread our wings and soar to new heights! We Soar As One! Together We Can, Together We Will! Start Your Engines! Let's Get Ready to SOAR!
