Hope for the Future: Introducing the Class of 2020
God has used your love, prayers, and incredible investments in our seniors to get them to a momentous occasion: high school graduation!
As we celebrate each graduate, we are humbled to consider how much has been invested in his or her growth at Hope Academy. Each student has had priceless truths planted in their hearts, been touched by the love of God in Christian community, and had their minds stretched, grown, and sharpened.
Join us in praising God for:
- 100% graduation rate, in a city with some of the worst non-white graduation rates in the country.
- Graduates who are serving and investing in our community.
- Seniors who’ve been awarded full-ride college scholarships, are pursuing trade school, further education and gainful employment.
- Young men and women who are growing in faith and virtue.
I thought you’d be particularly encouraged to hear from one of our seniors, Makayla. Here’s a piece she wrote and performed about God’s faithfulness:
To each person who has prayed for, encouraged, and invested in our seniors: thank you. Congratulations to the Class of 2020!
