Dr. Loretta N. McGregor to serve as guest speaker for 2025 Hope High School commencement.
Dr. McGregor is no stranger to this community. She is a proud Hope High School graduate—a hometown success story whose journey is a testament to hard work, perseverance, and excellence. While at Hope High, she was an active student leader, involved in the band, student council, and numerous other activities. Today, she stands before us as an accomplished scholar, educator, and trailblazer.
Currently serving as the Associate Dean for the College of Education and Behavioral Science at Arkansas State University, Dr. McGregor has dedicated over 30 years to higher education. She has held numerous leadership roles, including chairperson of the Department of Psychology and Counseling and president of the Faculty Senate. She is also the Immediate Past President of the Society for the Teaching of Psychology, a division of the American Psychological Association—a role in which she made history as the first Black president in its 75-year history.
Dr. McGregor’s contributions to psychology, education, and research are profound. She has been recognized for her work on the Imposter Phenomenon and has conducted extensive research on Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark, whose studies were instrumental in the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision. Her passion for teaching and advocacy for psychology educators have left a lasting impact on the field.

Hope High School students taking part in OBU Talent Search attended Career & College Day at OBU and HSU. There were over 25 employers in the building for the students to visit with. Students enjoyed visiting the Workforce Mobile Truck. The students took part in an activity allowing them to choose a career they would like to pursue which provided them with an income and expenses. Some students said," I must choose another career so I can afford to life". The tour at HSU was great with lots of walking and information. Each student came back with lots of valuable information on how to enter the workforce, how to enter college, and a t-shirt from HSU. Lunch was provided by OBU on their campus. It was a great opportunity and eye opener for the students!
Head to Prescott to watch Hope High School compete in the Wolf Relays today (March 6)!
