"We join our Hopewell City community in grieving the loss of Herbert Denton. A career educator, he served over 30 years as teacher and/or administrator for our school district. He is described as a gentle, kind spirit who was loved by all privileged to know and work with him. We are grateful for his service, and are keeping Councilor Denton and his wonderful family in our thoughts and prayers," Dr. Melody Hackney, Superintendent of Schools.
