Description

Margaret Leonard Hopper (‘37) is best known for her role as elementary school principal from 1946 until her retirement in 1979. She served Lipscomb in many roles: teaching in the departments of Education and Bible, and as a member of the Teacher Education Committee and the Executive Council. But she is best loved for her influence on children: her quiet authority gave direction to impressionable minds, and they knew she loved them deeply. She often helped a child turn tears into laughter. Her love for children, teaching, reading, and nature will always serve as a standard for those who become teachers at any level.
