The Bertrand Hopper Memorial Foundation is making a large donation towards a new STEM lab at Taylorville High School. The foundation held their annual meeting Monday, and they are committing $100,000 to a new STEM lab at THS.

Bill Hopper is the President of the Hopper Foundation. He says he was one of three foundation members that visited Taylorville Junior High School’s STEM lab recently, and they were blown away by the junior high’s lab.

Hopper says the foundation continues to do its best to provide a lasting legacy in the Taylorville community.

The Hopper Foundation also committed money towards their own and the Taylorville Memorial Hospital Foundation’s scholarship programs, the Taylorville Industrial Park, the local CEO program and the Christian County Economic Development Corporation.
