Hope Public Schools hosted the 2025 Hope-Hempstead County Leadership Class for their Education Day. As part of this 6 month program, the Leadership Class of 2025 toured Garrett Memorial Christian School, Yerger Middle School, Hope High School Agri Shop, and learned about the UAHT Hope Collegiate Academy, Secondary Career Center and Concurrent Credit programs. The day ended with a tour of the 3rd grade through 12th grade EAST program displays and information about the HPS Magnet Fair/EXPO. Dr. Carol Ann Duke, H-HC Leadership Class of 2024, served as the tour guide and the District provided breakfast and lunch. Hope Public Schools is proud to serve as a Presenting Sponsor for the Class of 2025.
During Yerger Middle School's recent Discovery Day, Mrs. Phillips hosted the Hope Quilters Guild, which was a big hit with students! The Quilters Guild has visited Yerger many times this year, and many students are beginning to show real skills developing! This visit they worked on composition notebook covers, putting their three dimensional design skills to the test!
The second annual HPS Magnet Fair will be held Saturday, March 15, 2025 at Hempstead Hall from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.
All students who will be in grades 5-11 for the 2025-26 school and their families are invited to attend to view and experience the Magnet Pathways offered at each campus.

Recently, students at Yerger Middle School were treated to a special workshop on acting. Mr. Chris Espinoza presented "Arts in the Classroom." He provided a script and students chose their roles then acted out the parts. As they did, Mr. Espinoza offered tips and tricks, and soon the whole class was laughing and enjoying their mini plays! #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture
