Let’s stride together!

When we journey together in the community—students, families, and staff–we are building a brighter future. Our students shine as they take center stage this week for the School Production.

Every school activity, big or small, plays a vital role in our students’ growth and development. Their hard work and dedication are truly inspiring. Stay tuned for the latest activities happening at HOPE.

Extracurricular Clubs wrap-up!

What a fantastic semester it was for our Extracurricular Clubs! Most of our clubs are ending today and while a few others will be finished by the first week of December, we are incredibly grateful to all the volunteers who dedicated their time to fostering our students' passions and knowledge beyond the classroom. Check out these beautiful photos.

ACADEMICS

Middle school students who would like extra support in Math will be supported by these High School students. If you would like to join this support program, please approach Mr. Colon, who is organizing this initiative.

Student IDs are coming!

We are so excited to announce that all secondary students will get a Student ID card as part of an ID trial program!

This card will be an official document that students may present at the library, to the security guards on the weekends and other special activities when required. It contains important information like the student's name, grade level, and school photo.

Please note that the ID card is valid for one school year and will be issued annually. If you lose your card, the replacement fee is $10.

The cards are currently being printed and they will be issued to students before the Christmas break. Get ready to enjoy student discounts around town and around the world!

Emergency Maps

Emergency maps are being placed throughout the campus. These maps will clearly show the locations of fire extinguishers, automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and the designated evacuation routes for each building. Familiarize yourself with these maps so that you will be well prepared in case of an emergency.
