About St. HOPE Public Schools
At. St. HOPE Public Schools we work tirelessly toward our mission of graduating self-motivated, industrious and critical thinking leaders who are committed to serving others, passionate about lifelong learning and prepared to earn a degree from a four-year college. From our rigorous curriculum and excellent athletic programs to our longer school days and high expectations for behavior, we do whatever it takes to help our students reach their full potential. That’s why 93% of our high school seniors were accepted to a four year college in 2021. St. HOPE Public Schools is a pre-kindergarten through 12th grade system of five schools serving nearly 1,000 students.
