The Hope Public School District community said goodbye to a number of its members with retirement recognition honors on the last day of the 2015-2016 school year. The assembled retirees represented some 200-plus years of educational experience, many having served their entire career in the HPSD. Honored by Hope Superintendent Bobby Hart for her service was Carol McCorkle, sixth grade teacher at Beryl Henry Elementary. -- Ken McLemore, Hope Public Schools
