The following is an excerpt from the Hopkinton High School Student/Parent Handbook:

Right to Request That Student’s Information Be Withheld From Armed Forces Recruiters

The No Child Left Behind Act and the National Defense Authorization Act require that school officials provide military recruiters with student information including names, addresses, and telephone numbers. Parents and students of majority age have a right to request that their information be withheld unless released by their signature. Where students or their parents do not request their information be withheld, the school is required to release information to military recruiters. If you wish to request this information be withheld fro military recruiters, please complete the form included with this handbook and return it to the school by October 1st.
