Extracurricular

We never take for granted that we can worship God freely anytime, anywhere at HOPE.  
 
  • Studying the Word of God. Both Teacher-led and Student-led Bible studies happen throughout the year at lunchtime, before and after school on both the Middle and High School campuses.

  • Outreach. Meager Rations is a student-led missions group that focuses on outreach activities.  There is also the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Ecuador in the summertime.

Three Assistant Chaplains - (HCHS teachers) - one who was a Navy chaplain, one with Biblical counseling experience, and another lay counselor.
