Hopewell Area SD: Remote Instruction on Thursday, May 1, 2025

Due to ongoing storm restoration efforts in the community and at district schools, the Hopewell Area School District will operate all schools under a Flexible Instruction Day (FID) model with students learning remotely from home on Thursday, May 1, 2025. There will be no district transportation provided, and after-school and evening activities will take place as scheduled.

The district truly understands that some students may have varying needs associated with power outages or Internet loss, so please communicate needs with teachers and principals. They will be willing to assist as needed. With an in-service day and prom happening on Friday (May 2), students will next return to school on Monday, May 5. So, the extra day in remote learning will yield multiple days of recovery efforts to, hopefully, return all students to regular in-person schooling on Monday, May 5.

Overview of District

The Hopewell Area School District is located in the southern portion of Beaver County where it borders Allegheny County and lies approximately twenty miles northwest of Pittsburgh.  It consists of three townships:  Hopewell, Independence and Raccoon.

The District has an enrollment of approximately 2100 students.  The students are divided into three grade configurations:  K-4, 5-8 and 9-12.  The K-4 population attend neighborhood schools throughout the District.  This organization was maintained to reflect the local preference for neighborhood schools.  These buildings act as feeders to the centrally located junior high school where grades 5-8 are housed.  Finally, the senior high is found approximately one fourth mile from the junior high and accommodates grades 9-12.

We are extremely proud of our school district and community.  Welcome to Viking country where we share our Hopewell students', district's, and community's Purpose, Passion, and Pride.
