Christian County Public Schools has announced that Anita Hopson, the Director of Personnel, will be retiring effective October 1.
According to a news release, Hopson has been working in the Christian County School System since 1995, when she began her teaching career at Morningside Elementary School. She would serve as teacher, curriculum coach and principal at Belmont Elementary, before being promoted to Director of Elementary Education in 2014 and then taking on the role of principal in 2017 as an interim principal at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary for a short time.
She has served as the District Personnel Director since 2018. Hopson says, “Christian County Public Schools is the only school system I have been a part of and am honored to have spent my entire career here. It is bittersweet to reflect on the past 30 years and to remember the countless students, teachers, staff, principals, and superintendents who have impacted my career. I am grateful for my time with this district and am looking forward to now spending my time with my family as I embark on a new chapter.”
CCPS will begin the process of selecting a new director, with the hope of having one by the end of August.
