Hello! My name is Mrs. Hopkins. I am a social studies teacher at The Berkeley Institute. This will be my my first year teaching at Berkeley. I moved here from Washington D.C., where I used to teach 9th grade (S1) at Friendship Collegiate Academy. You can read about my old school by clicking on the website below:

I have lots of goals for the 2008-2009 school year. First, I want all my students to get excited about history. I think a lot of the time students find history boring and that's just not true. Another goal I want to accomplish is for all my students to achieve 80% mastery or more of all our course objectives. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you this year and to have a fun and productive learning experience together.
