Ms. Nicole Hopkins, Skyridge High School

“Ms. Hopkins goes above and beyond to make a life long difference in the lives of her students. She is an FFA advisor and teaches various agriculture classes at Skyridge. Ms. Hopkins spends a lot of time outside of school serving her kids. She attends competitions and conferences to support her kids. An example of how dedicated Ms. Hopkins is can be found in her influence on my daughter Kira. Kira was going through a very difficult time in her personal life during her 9th grade year. Ms. Hopkins encouraged Kira to start her own floral business and helped her apply for a grant to do so. Kira has had her business operating for over a year and a half. I love that Ms. Hopkins motivated Kira to deal with her trial in a healthy and productive manner. We are so grateful for Ms. Hopkins and that she gives so much time and love to every student who walks into her classroom!”
