I went to hope high school but my freshmen year was my only full year since I did the Hope Collegiate Academy program provided by UAHT which helped me get ready for college classes and get my associates degree I did sports which i really enjoyed I played Soccer and ran Cross country. Overall my experience was very good at the high school but I would mainly be there for sports but when I needed help with anything like from the counselors they would always help me.

The best parts of Hope High would have to be our safety. We always have security and police on standby just incase if anything happens. The only thing that I think needs to be changed is our football field. It's old and outdated. Also we need a new track as well.
