Message from the Principal -

Thank you for viewing the Hopatcong Middle School Web site. We hope that you find it both interesting and informative. We are committed to add new features and update the site regularly with information that the entire Hopatcong community will find helpful. Academic excellence at Hopatcong Middle School is founded on a partnership between students, staff, and parents. As a community of learners, we work to ensure the intellectual, ethical, physical, social and emotional growth of each student.

Our staff members strive to meet the unique developmental needs of young adolescents in a positive school climate. Students and teachers are organized into grade level teams, which help create small learning environments where supportive, mutually respectful relationships flourish. Elective course offerings during the day and after school activities are provided to meet the varied interests, boundless energy, and curiosity of our students. High expectations are held for all students to meet rigorous academic standards and become lifelong learners.

Hopatcong Middle School is a great place for students to learn. Students are understood, challenged and cared for. Hopatcong Middle School is committed to ensuring that students achieve their academic and personal potential. Students are encouraged to demonstrate a passion for learning in a nurturing environment where unique talents and backgrounds of individuals are valued and respected.

The goal in our school is to develop a caring community of students who are empathetic towards one another and who will become part of the caring majority by taking a stand against inappropriate behavior.
