Greetings Blazer Learning Community,
The 2025-2026 school year marks the beginning of my 19th year in public education. This will be my third year serving in the Daniel Boone Area School District as an Assistant Principal at Daniel Boone Area High School. I look forward to building relationships with students, families, the community, staff, and all stakeholders focused on learning in the DBASD.
I promote positive relationship building, engagement, and belonging to all involved in reaching the goal. That goal is student growth, achievement, and success. My previous roles in the Reading School District have given me a unique set of skills to lead students on the path to success.
Previously, I was a 7th and 8th-grade social studies teacher and the Dean of Students at Reading High School. As the Dean of Students, I assisted in creating a safe and positive learning environment at the high school and helping students manage behavior, attendance, graduation requirements, and feel a sense of belonging in their learning community. I also assisted students who were behind on their required credits to graduate close that gap, and understand the importance of education, graduation, and success.
I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Kutztown University and a Master of Science Degree in Educational Leadership from Wilkes University. However, I am a lifelong learner. Whether it is educational training or a “how-to” video on YouTube, I never stop learning and building my skill set.
My wife and I live in Berks County. She is a Reading Specialist. We spend a lot of our time doing projects around the house and watching baseball. We are both big Philadelphia Phillies fans. I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, doing construction projects, or working on cars.
I strive to be an Assistant Principal that is approachable for everyone. I’m here to assist on the journey to success, as well as celebrate achievements. High school should be a memorable time filled with a lot of joy. There are many extracurricular activities for students, as well as planning for the future, let's work together to make the high school years the best years. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me during the school year. I will be glad to assist in any way I can.

Mrs. Liza Hoppes, Assistant Principal
Hello Blazer Learning Community!
I am ecstatic to begin my 18th year in education. This will be my third year at Daniel Boone Area High School. Before embarking on this new journey as an Assistant Principal, I spent the majority of my educational career as a school counselor.
Due to my previous role as a school counselor, I value the relationships that I can build with students, parents, staff and community members. It is essential that stakeholders have a place where they can safely express their interests and concerns. I look forward to helping students achieve their future goals, whether they be personal, academic or post-secondary. There are so many opportunities after high school and I love to see the various paths that students choose to take.
Just to give you a little background on me, I was raised in Berks County almost my entire life. I have 5 children. One was in the Army and has recently moved back to PA, one is a high school freshman, one is an 8th grader in middle school and two are in elementary school (3rd and 4th grade). I enjoy watching them grow and learn from their new experiences.
I believe that learning is crucial and everyone learns differently. I am currently working on a second Master’s degree in Educational Leadership. I am hoping that it will help me to serve the students and the community better.
I cannot wait to learn with the students, parents, staff and community of Daniel Boone School District. I feel that it if we work together, we can build an environment where students can continue to thrive and excel more than they have already.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. This year is going to be great! Go Blazers!
