Community Partners
Through strong community partnerships, Hopkins students are able to extend their education beyond the classroom. Our learning community values our generous partners and is grateful for the new opportunities and experiences they afford our students. Field trips to local organizations and school visits from community leaders allow students to view the world through new perspectives and to interact with positive role models and important Milwaukee stakeholders. Knowing that community leaders and local organizations support our students and their achievements, Hopkins learners develop the motivation to continue their quest for new insight and knowledge.
For more information or to become a Hopkins community partner, please call the main office at (414) 267-0600.
Hopkins community partners include:
