Hawk's Claw

About

Hadley Massachusetts is a small affluent farming community in the heart of a liberal five college system. The town itself was settled in 1659 and incorporated in 1661 while the school, Hopkins Academy, began in 1664 founded by Edward Hopkins. After Hopkins’ death he created a trust which continued to finance the school.  This support continues to this day through the board of trustees. The trustees help to fund field trips, technology or other non-budget items, such as the school newspaper. While the present-day Hopkins Academy is in a different building than in years of the past, it carries the tradition and history of the community with it still. The school itself educates 270 students in grades 7-12.
