HPS LGBTQ Pride Committee

The Hopkinton Public Schools’ LGBTQ Pride Committee has several events planned for the Middle School. A K-12 alum and staff member of HPS will be presenting to HMS faculty on their experiences growing up in Hopkinton and how to best support LGBTQIA+ students. Additionally, a chalk event is being planned for Pride Month, where students and staff may volunteer to chalk messages about love, acceptance, and friendship. If you are interested in contributing to the Pride Committee, please send an email to hps_pridecommittee@hopkinton.k12.ma.us.

Additionally, we now have a Pride Squadlocker Store where merchandise with the Hillers/All Means All logo is displayed.
