Three of my kids have attended Hofer since it first opened and we love it! The school has the best technology in the area. Each classroom has multiple laptops to use every day to aid learning. The teachers are great. It has always seemed to me that they picked the best teachers from the rest of the district to move to Hofer when they opened their doors and found some great new teachers to fill out the staff. There are a few newer techers who bring enthusiasm and new ideas which balances perfectly with some more veteran teachers with experience on their side. Close Quote
