Known as America’s Favorite Family of Gospel Music, they are favorites on the Gaither Homecoming videos and tours, and their recordings frequently land at the top of the BILLBOARD sales charts and The Singing News radio charts.
The Hoppers are comprised today of family members Claude & Connie, son Dean and his wife, Kim, son Mike, and Dean & Kims daughter, Karlye. The Hoppers were formed in 1957 in the rural-farm town of Madison, NC, and have grown continuously for decades, touching countless lives around the world. A cancer survivor, Connie has been honored with the prestigious Marvin Norcross Award, in addition to numerous industry and fan honors; and she has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Sons Dean and Mike have continued the family legacy with their musical talents and business abilities; and Kim, Dean’s wife, hails from her own nationally acclaimed musical family, The Greenes. She is noted for the excitement she brings to any live performance, and her unmistakable, rafter-ringing soprano vocals have taken The Hoppers to new heights for many years.

Kingsway Alumni Association NY Chapter was started in Tacoma Park, Maryland after the idea was conceived by Michael Morgan (Clover Morgan-Barrows’ brother, now deceased).
The idea was quickly accepted and so a group of past students met at Diane Hinds Knight’s house. The student was Mrs. Leonie Hinds-Tong (secretary), Dr. Gawin Flynn (deceased), Dr. Philip Thompson, Dr. Lloyd Buddoo (legal advisor), Clover Morgan-Barrows (president).
In 1986, the association was officially launched in CUC – Alvian Hall Chapel where Dr. Peter Campbell was the speaker, and Professor V.H. Percy was the honored guest.

The Kingsway Jamaica Alumni Chapter has had many starts and pauses over the past 81 years since the school commenced operation on January 10, 1943. Nevertheless, the current executive team of alumni came together in 2017 to build on the legacy of those who have previously carried the torch when we were commissioned by Dr. Donna Brown, the Education Director, East Jamaica Conference of SDA, to plan the 75th Anniversary Service. Ever since, with the help of almighty God, we have been steadfast in our support of the school and its mission.
During the past seven years, God has blessed our efforts to establish an account, raise funds, and assist the school. Some of the fund-raising activities have included school fair, mediation, and banquet. As a result of these fund-raising activities, we have been able to paint the school, renovate the computer lab and canteen, and assist with equipment for the science lab.
We strongly believe that together our reach can be wider. Consequently, we are happy to partner with the other chapters to organize what is anticipated to be the largest reunion event to date in the history of the school. So, I invite all of us to arise in April 2025 and be a part of this grand occasion. Save the date April 16-22, 2025, and start making plans to participate.
Let not your absence be a cause for regret.

The Kingsway Alumni International chapter was formed on May 31, 2020, when 26 past students reconnected and shared memories, leading to the idea of establishing a new chapter of the Kingsway Past Students Association. Led by Mr. David (Peter) Gentles and Dr. Michael Dawkins, the group began organizing and interfacing with other chapters. On July 26, 2020, the first formal meeting was held, with officers elected to shape the chapter's mission of supporting their alma mater. Now officially named Kingsway High School Alumni International, the chapter invites stakeholders to join in making Kingsway a top school in Jamaica, in line with its motto, "Via Regis Optima Est" (The Kingsway is the best way).
