E.L. & Z. Irene Hopkins Foundation

The E. L. and Z. Irene Hopkins Foundation is proud to offer Project Awards to support the amazing work of Emporia teachers and school support staff.

The E.L. & Z Irene Hopkins Foundation has generously provided Hopkins Awards to all Lyon County schools for over 20 years.  In the past, they have done two types of awards; Project Awards and Individual Awards.  This year the Foundation has decided to try something new. This year our focus will be on our Heroic Classified Educators.  Through previous Project Awards, our licensed educators have been the focus, and this year they would like to recognize the other staff that make the day-to-day operations happen that also impact our students in the best way!.

If you have any questions or would like more information about the awards, please feel free to reach out to Casey Jones at 620-341-2201 or casey.jones@usd253.net. We're always here to help and support our community!
