News & Announcements

Our COVID testing program is being scaled back to just one day per week now, with drive-thru testing available at the front of HHS on Mondays at 3:30-5:00pm. The testing program will end after May 22nd.

We are heartbroken by the news that two of our high school students lost their lives in an automobile accident early this morning, and a third student is currently hospitalized. We grieve with our families and community about these lives lost way too soon.

We will have additional staff and grief support at schools on Monday morning.

There are no words that capture how devastated our Hopewell family is with this loss. We ask you to hold these families and our whole community in your hearts and prayers.

Do you like musicals such as Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, High School Musical, and Wicked? Do you want to see multiple stories of someone making a decision that changes the course of their entire life? Then please come out to the Hopewell High School auditorium on Friday, April 28th at 6:00 pm to watch the HHS performing arts department present The Choice Is Yours: A Musical Revue. It will feature songs and scenes from multiple musicals and end with Lin Manuel Miranda’s 14 minute musical, 21 Chump St. You won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind performance! Admission is free but donations of any amount are welcome to support the HHS Performing Arts department.

We hope you had a great first week back! As we finish up another school year we will continue to promote our Attendance Blitz Campaign by offering prizes if you participate in our Attendance Poster Campaign. This is how you can support the campaign: 1. find a poster in one of the participating Hopewell businesses, 2. scan the QR code, 3. complete the brief questionnaire, and 4. be entered for a chance to win a prize! Good luck! And remember, EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY!

The countdown is on for our 2023 K12 C.R.E.W. Student Exhibition! Last year, over 500 community guests came out to support our event. We are excited to once again invite all CREW students, parents, and Hopewell Community members to join us for an exhibition night to remember on Wednesday April 26, 2023 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.at Hopewell High School.

CREW Academy is a deeper learning community of students and teachers across the division who are committed to designing student experiences that reflect our core values of Community, Empathy & Equity, Real-World Deeper Learning, and Championing the Wins.

All K12 CREW students will be given the opportunity to present their final projects during
our time together. Our hope is that each and every student will take pride in
presenting work that is beautiful, excellent, and something he/she can feel proud of. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to explore amazing student projects, enjoy food and fellowship, and end the night with our community dance party on the lawn!

CREW students will be bringing more information home as we countdown to this amazing event! We can’t wait to come together as a Hopewell family and celebrate our students! See you there!
