Aiden Hoppe entered this world on Nov. 7, 2006. He is the son of Jessica Ort and Alex Hoppe. He joined siblings Caitlyn Hoppe, Bailey Hoppe, and Sawyer Hoppe. His proud grandparents are Steve and Catherine Ort and Larry and Colleen Kellerman.
He is an original member of the NLHS Class of 2025 and has a fun nickname … Hoppy Boppy. Although extracurricular participation didn’t interest him, Aiden was very interested in learning how to work on vehicles and machines.
Aiden’s proudest accomplishment is getting a job at 14 and that he has continued to work. His most embarrassing recollections are PDAs.
Aiden’s advice to the underclassmen is to appreciate the people worth caring for.
When asked to pick a special person in his life, Aiden chose his grandfather Steven Eugene Ort. He said of him, “His wisdom and advice is highly worth taking in.” That’s pretty high praise from a grandson to his grandfather.
Aiden is looking forward to graduation in about three short weeks. His future plans are to work in mechanic and auto sales until he can afford to start his own business.
Tiger Nation wishes Aiden all the best as he starts the next chapter of his life and hopes he accomplishes all of his dreams.
