Hopkins Public Schools (Michigan)
The Hopkins Public School District is a public school district in the U.S. state of Michigan. Hopkins Public Schools, a fully accredited, rural school district located in Allegan County, has been serving the Hopkins-Dorr community since 1844. Serving a student population of approximately 1550, the district offers two K-5 elementary schools, one 6th-8th grade middle school, and one 9th-12th grade high school, as well as a 0-5 year-old Welcoming Schools program.
Academic opportunities include a full range of services including special education, gifted/talented, advance placement classes, and dual enrollment. The district provides many cocurricular offerings including interscholastic athletics, club programs, and fine arts.
Community Involvement
The community approved a $21 million bond issue in 1996 which provided two new buildings, renovations to all facilities, and state of the art technology to enhance delivery of instruction via converged networking.
In 2007 the district passed another bond which provided $2 million toward infrastructure and classroom improvements. The Board of Education and staff are dedicated to providing a quality education for all students.
Technology
Hopkins Public Schools has a large technology infrastructure. In accordance with the bond from 2007, all students in grades 6-12 receive a netbook computer at the beginning of the school year to be used for instructional purposes. Hopkins, being a small district, is a powerhouse when it comes to technology having 340 desktop workstations, 210 laptops, and over 1400 netbooks[1]. Every instructional classroom is equipped with state of the art teaching technology. Ceiling mounted Epson 822+ 3LCD projectors are installed in each classroom and project onto a Hitachi Starboard FXDuo 88. In addition, a Avermedia SPB350 document camera is hooked up to the classroom computer and projector setup. For classroom audio enhancement, a Lightspeed Systems 850iR is installed in each classroom to help project the instructors voice and enhance the learning environment.
