Signs of a new school year are popping up all across the district! 🏫🍂

For weeks now, our sports teams have been hard at work, and on any given evening at the High School or Junior High, you’ll find coaches and athletes preparing for their upcoming Fall seasons.

Yesterday marked another step toward a great start — HSAD teachers and staff gathered for their first in-service day of the 2025–2026 school year. As tradition goes, they were welcomed back with an energetic performance from our cheerleaders, majorettes, and marching band. 🎶✨

This year, the band is under the new direction of Samantha Lash, and if today’s halftime show preview is any sign, we’re in for something special!

Welcome back, teachers and staff — we can’t wait for Fall Sports to return in full force! 💛💙

My wife and I have three beautiful children that all play Hopewell sports including baseball and softball. My wife and I are both active in coaching our Children's teams. I am a member of the Hopewell Youth Baseball Board of Directors and you will probably see me out at the fields at least a few days a week. Most recently coaching my youngest sons TBALL team.
