  “Hopkins School is a place where you can be yourself in all avenues, no matter what you are, no matter your color, creed, or race. We are all welcoming and you can also find your identity here. For me, it has been a place where I can explore my musical talents. Being encouraged to sing in the Hopkins Choir, and the support of my classmates and teachers, helped me feel seen.”

  “We’re looking now for people to be problem solvers, creative thinkers, doers, people that have ideas that maybe have never been seen or tried before. And I think the important aspect of the arts program is to cultivate that and to make sure that our students have the tools and education necessary for success.”

  “The faculty at Hopkins genuinely care about your growth and want you to succeed. The deep connection with teachers makes every class really enjoyable. Even if you are really struggling in a subject you don’t particularly enjoy, the encouragement and willingness of teachers to work with you one-on-one provides the support not only to push through difficult material but also to spark love for a subject that you might not have expected to enjoy.”

  “After 30 years, it’s remarkable how much the campus has changed. The campus is littered with buildings that weren’t here when I was in high school. And yet the feel of the place is very similar. You can tell that there’s a real love for ideas here and a lot of enthusiasm from the faculty and the students.”

  “Being digitally fluent is more important now than ever. A number of us have been putting together resources for students to be able to more mindfully and ethically approach their understanding and their use of AI in a classroom setting and then outside of the classroom as well. I’m grateful to be at a school where instead of banning ChatGPT, we’re encouraged to responsibly innovate with it.”

  “My experience in HARPS [the Hopkins Authentic Research Program in Science] has been eye-opening. I am learning topics and lab techniques that STEM students typically don’t see until college. In our lab, we have access to equipment that allows us to do DNA sequencing and perform other advanced procedures. I have learned critical thinking, problem solving, and how to communicate complex information. Lab work is challenging, and this class has prepared me for a physics internship and for majoring in physics in college.”
