Happy National Bus Driver Appreciation Day to our incredible Hope Public Schools bus drivers! Your dedication, patience, and commitment do not go unnoticed. You are often the first smile our students see in the morning and the last one they see in the afternoon—and that matters more than you know.
Rain or shine, early mornings and long routes—you show up for our students and our families every day. ❤️

Hope Public Schools is proud to celebrate a historic achievement by the Hope High School Symphonic Band!
On Thursday, April 16, the band traveled to Searcy, Arkansas, to compete in the ASBOA State Concert Assessment alongside top 5A schools from across the state. Through their dedication and hard work, these talented students earned 6th place in the state for Class 5A.
In addition, the band received a State Sweepstakes Award—an honor reserved for programs that earn superior ratings in both marching and concert performance.
This marks the first time in school history that Hope Public Schools has received this prestigious recognition.
Please join us in congratulating these outstanding students and directors on an incredible accomplishment!
Let’s go Hope! ❤️🤍

Three of our campuses — Clinton Primary, Beryl Henry Elementary, and Yerger Middle School — have been recognized as Capturing Kids’ Hearts Rising Star Schools.
Because of this achievement, Hope Public Schools has also been named a Capturing Kids’ Hearts Rising Star District.
This recognition honors schools in their first year of implementation that are building strong, relationship-driven cultures focused on emotional safety, connection, and student success. Through intentional practices like daily greetings, relationship-building, and positive classroom environments, these campuses are creating spaces where students feel supported and ready to learn.
“My goal for HPS with Capturing Kids’ Hearts has always been rooted in relationships — building, creating, and sustaining relationships that go beyond teaching and learning and truly get to the core of student success — academically, avocationally, behaviorally, and vocationally,” said Dr. Carol Duke, Director of Magnet Programs.
“The fact that, in this first year of implementation, these campuses have impacted their culture with the simple actions that CKH aspires to become daily practices proves the committed nature that all adults have regarding our students and their futures. For many of our students, the adults they interact with daily are critical to their well-being, and CKH has helped us all hone the skills to support creative learning environments where students feel safe, valued, and connected to each other, the adults, and the world in which they learn daily.”
This is a reflection of the work happening across our district. We are building something meaningful together.
The work does not stop here. This is the foundation. Our next goal is clear: becoming a Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase District.
We celebrate this moment, and we continue moving forward.

Hope High School student Jair Arroyo has been selected as the Arkansas recipient of the Billy Michal Student Leadership Award, a national honor presented by the National Association of Student Councils.
This award recognizes one student per state who demonstrates excellence in leadership, service, character, and citizenship — and Jair is now representing not only our district, but the entire state of Arkansas.
Out of students across the country, Jair has been recognized as one of the top student leaders and will travel to New Orleans this June to be honored alongside other recipients from across the nation.
This is a powerful reflection of who Jair is and what he represents — hard work, integrity, and leadership in action.
We are extremely proud of you, Jair. You are representing Hope the right way.

Four talented students from Hope High School recently competed at the Arkansas Elite Welding Academy in Quitman, Arkansas, where they took on the challenge of vertical pipe welding and represented Hope in a strong way.
👏 Students competing:
Jaelyn
Za’Koryeon

Landen
We are proud to share that Jaelyn earned a Jackson Welding Hood for his performance—an outstanding achievement.
