Class of 2016

Where Are You Now: University of Miami

What You Wish You Knew in High School: I wish I knew that all  teachers, especially those at HHS, are super caring and approachable people who love to help/talk to their students outside of class. I wish I had been more willing to go to extra help and just get to know them better.

Class Everyone Should Take: Everyone should take Public Speaking with the lovely Valerie.

Thing You Miss Most From Hopkinton:  What I miss most about Hopkinton is our sense of close-knit community. I especially miss going to sporting events, fundraisers, after-school activities and other community events that really bring us all closer.

Emily Schmidt

Class of 2016

Where Are You Now: University of Virginia

What You Wish You Knew in High School: The teachers at our school prepare us well for what happens in college. I want everyone to know they will be fine when they go off to whichever college they are destined to go to or wherever they want to be in life.

Class Everyone Should Take: I bet everyone is going to say this, but AP Psychology. Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Sullivan are two incredible teachers, and I was so lucky to have them.

Thing You Miss Most From Hopkinton: Being close with all my teachers. I am in huge lectures in college, and my professors in those classes wouldn’t even recognize my face if I saw them.
