Huge congratulations to Hooper's very own Mrs. DiPersio, for being nominated for the Lake County Educational Service Personel of the Year! Her impact on our students goes far beyond the classroom—she lifts them up with patience, care, and encouragement every single day. Whether it’s offering extra help, a listening ear, or a smile when it’s needed most, Mrs. DiPersio helps create a space where students feel seen, supported, and empowered. We are so lucky to have her, and this recognition is truly well-earned! #welldeserved
