Hopper Academy

Hopper Academy is a former school for African Americans in Sanford, Florida.

It closed in the early 1960s, was used by the school district, and was then abandoned and fell into disrepair.

It is on the Florida Black Heritage Trail and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Following the completion of Crooms Academy in 1926, Hopper was converted to an elementary and middle school, housing kindergarten through eighth grade.
