Title: Meet Our 2025–2026 Communications Interns! Body: Hope Public Schools is proud to introduce our Communications Internship Program. This year’s interns — Addison, Xavier, Carlos, Mauricio, Kamaya, LeBron, Celina, and Athen — will work directly with Mr. Tony McClain, Communications & Public Relations Director. They will gain valuable skills in photography, videography, communications, public relations, business, and entrepreneurship. Each student will have the opportunity to create professional-level projects, including branding campaigns, product photography, portraits, family sessions, headshots, and more. If you know a business that would like to support our interns by giving them real opportunities to apply their skills, we invite you to connect with us. Together, we’re building a stronger Bobcat community for today and tomorrow.
