On March 8, Hopkins secondary schools will begin Phase 5 of the secondary reopening plan, which brings scholars back for in-person learning two days a week. On March 22, we will begin in-person learning. Scholars who have made that selection will learn in-person four days a week.
COVID-19 Hub
In all learning models, Hopkins is committed to the goals of Vision 2031 and the health and safety of our students and staff.
Now more than ever, our scholars need the qualities of the graduation traits in a world that is rapidly evolving. Regardless of what the world looks like, our core values hold true and these are the traits we will instill in our scholars that will set them apart from their peers. Whether in distance learning, in-person learning, or a hybrid of the two, we are committed to the goals of Vision 2031.

Our Ongoing Commitment
Quality Instruction
Whether distance learning or in person, we are committed to providing high-quality, rigorous instruction which sparks critical thinking while inspiring optimistic innovation.
Anti-Racism
When we co-create a culture where every child has a voice and is empowered, it benefits every child. As we develop and transition into new learning models, we will continue our work in creating anti-racist teaching practices.
Social-Emotional Wellness Culture
We love our students and are dedicated to fostering growth in empathy and developing holistic habits. Social-emotional learning will co-occur with academic learning to enhance student intellectual growth — not replace it — and we will vigilantly integrate social-emotional curriculum through a culturally-responsive lens.
