WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL receives visit from state senator


On Monday, state Senator Hoon-Yung Hopgood spoke to West Middle School’s eighth grade social studies students.

Senator Hopgood spoke on a variety of topics.  Since his father was involved in politics, the senator was immersed in the political process as a youngster. The senator is very hopeful that President Donald Trump will move the country forward.

Senator Hopgood also informed the students that every election is important. He said that any representative affects many aspects of each citizen's life by the laws they enact during their tenure.

He believes that the two big issues facing our elected representatives during 2017 are affordable health care and education advancements.


West students and staff are indebted to Senator Hopgood for his service to our community and appreciate his visit to the school to answer students' questions and concerns.
