We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Tim Kearnan as Principal of Hopkins Elementary School. Mr. Kearnan has already proven himself an excellent school leader in his role as Assistant Principal at the school and he is dedicated to continuing the work taking place to advance the academic, social-emotional and community mission.
Mr. Kearnan has enjoyed many different roles in Hopkinton. He worked for two years as a Technology Integration Specialist at Elmwood Elementary School, then transitioned to the classroom where he taught second grade for nine years. During that time he also served as president of the Hopkinton Teachers’ Association. He has served for the past two years as Assistant Principal in the district.
Mr. Kearnan earned a B.A. in Elementary Education from Stonehill College, and a M.Ed. from Fitchburg State College. He has completed additional Graduate Administrative coursework at Worcester State College.
Mr. Kearnan is eager to begin and will be holding a Public Forum on Monday, July 14th at 6:00 PM at the Hopkins School cafeteria to give the community the opportunity to meet with him. Additional opportunities to meet Mr. Kearnan will be provided throughout the summer and will be announced through the school’s listserv. Among his first tasks will be to conduct a search for an Assistant Principal.
We are looking forward to a seamless leadership transition at the Hopkins Elementary School.
