SPIRIT WEEK for Hope Public Schools Homecoming is September 30 - October 4 with Homecoming taking place on Friday, October 4. We apologize for any confusion regarding spirit week activities. Thanks!
As the home football season continues, we want to remind everyone about student expectations. We encourage our students to show school spirit and support our team, but it’s important that they adhere to home game expectations:
⚫️ Students are not to loiter behind the bleachers. Our students are expected to remain seated in the stands during the game, except when going to the restroom or visiting the concession stand.
🔴Students cannot sit on the top three rows of the stands unless sitting with a parent.
⚪️All after school activities are schools functions therefore our students are to follow handbook expectations. Any student that does not follow expectations may be asked to leave the game and will be addressed the following school day.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child to ensure a fun and safe environment for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Go Bobcats!!

Dear parents,
This letter is to inform you that our 7th grade football athletes will begin practicing after school at Yerger starting this Tuesday September 3rd at 5:30pm. Due to the lack of time that we have with our 7th graders in their 1st period class, we decided to bring them back two days a week until the season begins and then once a week for the improvement of our student athletes. 7th grade skill development is vital to building a great football program. Thank you for supporting your student and the program.
Practice will last for 1 hour and 15 minutes. We are trying to get all our 7th grade athletes current athletic physical so we can have everyone at practice on Tuesday. A practice schedule, football schedule, will be provided.
You can contact Phillip Turner, at Phillip.turner@hpsdistrict.org or Head Coach Antwone Casteel at 870-5715169 or antwone.casteel@hpsdistrict.org if you have any questions.
Practice Schedule:
Tuesday- 9/3/24: 5:30-6:45 pm
Wednesday- 9/4/24: 5:30-6:45 pm
Monday- 9/9/24: 5:30-6:45 pm
Tuesday- 9/10/24: 5:30-6:45 pm
Wednesday- 9/11/24: 5:30-6:45 pm
Practice Days will change when our 7th grade season begins because our 7th graders will play on Mondays.
Practice Days will then be every Wednesday after school for the remainder of the season. Starting at 5:30pm.
All junior high football players will get in free on Thursday and Friday night’s for games.
