Schools

Administrators at Hopkinton High School are asking for help to find host families for international students. Although there has been a strong response for host families for next year's class of international students coming to HHS, there are still have a few more students, mostly boys, to place. Each has a friendly smile and interests to share. If you weren't sure before, please now consider hosting a student from Italy, China or Germany. According to feedback from current host families, their lives are being enriched by these students in varied and sometimes surprising ways.

My name is Jon Graziano, and I am running for School Committee. My wife, Erin, and I moved to Hopkinton two years ago. As the parents of three young children (ages 6, 4 and 1), one of the primary reasons we were attracted to the town was the school system, and our experience so far has validated that decision. Over the past year I have been the Appropriations Committee liaison to the School Committee.

I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the Hopkinton School Committee. My wife Eve and I have made Hopkinton our home for 17 years.

We have four children in the Hopkinton public schools: three at Hopkins and one in the Middle School. I have been active in our community, coaching Little League, serving on the Special Education Advisory Council (SPEAC), and most recently serving on the Elementary Building Criteria Working Group.
