What people are saying

by a student
Monday, November 13, 2017

It is terrible
the foods is fake
building is unsanitary
principle needs to prioritize better, stop worrying about certain kids and should start caring about everyone
I thought it was hysterical when I got a office detention for telling a bully to stop bullying my friends little sister and she got nothing
I also thought it was funny when a kid was doing inappropriate actions which are illegal and got nothing for it
kids disrespect other students as well as teachers and don't care
we have an on campus officer which only benefits the principle
most teachers are nice and understanding while some are not
I'm always stuck with the most obnoxious kids in class and I cant get anything done because they are constantly talking Close Quote

Hopkins is what a school should be..a place for learning and personal growth.
The town's great support of Hopkins and the pride of the students and teachers is clearly shown in standardized tests. GO HAWKS! Close Quote
