On Jan. 20, the Grand County Board of Education voted unanimously to name the new middle school building the Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School, honoring the beloved local educator and community member who died on Dec. 20, 2020.
The Grand County Commission unanimously approved a letter in support of the idea and many community members contacted the Board of Education urging them to honor Hopkin, who served the Grand County School District for 33 years, first as a teacher and then as principal of Grand County Middle School. She ended her career as superintendent of the Grand County School District.
Grand County Commission Chair Mary McGann and Commissioner Trish Hedin have both worked with Hopkin as teachers in the Grand County School District, and spoke warmly of her talent and character at a Jan. 19 commission meeting.
