The Hopkinton School District’s mission, in cooperation with family and community, is to ensure each student gains a love of learning with the knowledge, skills, sensitivity, self-reliance and character to be a contributing member of our global society by educating all students in a joyful, supportive and challenging environment.

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
The District believes that an exceptional academic program must be the essential foundation for our schools and that all students should have an equal access to the best instructional program designed to continuously challenge each student. We believe our schools will thrive by focusing on intellectual growth in an environment of true respect and excitement about learning. Through this focus, in partnership with family and community, students will be guided in growth of character, social responsibility, and emotional stability. Our goal is to produce outstanding students who have developed the knowledge and skills needed to achieve their personal goals and to be responsible members of society.
