Hopewell City Public Schools

Hopewell City Schools provide outstanding educational programs for approximately 4,000 students. The system is composed of three elementary schools (K - 5), one middle school (6 - 8), one high school (9-12) and one learning center (Preschool - Adult). All of our schools have been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Hopewell is a small but very diverse industrial city located twenty miles southeast of Richmond at the confluence of the James and Appomattox Rivers. Our school division has a rich history and tradition well known across southside Virginia. Out of that tradition, exciting and innovative educational activities abound in our schools everyday. Our school division serves between 4,000-4,500 students with a staff of more than 600 employees.

The mission of Hopewell City Public Schools is to develop students who achieve at their highest level of ability in pursuing life and career choices that will enable them to become productive and contributing members of the community and society.
