The HOPE Academy is the Troup County School System secondary alternative school and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as a special purpose school. The school serves sixth through twelfth grades, with a maximum capacity of 90 students at any given time. Students removed from their home schools as a result of a disciplinary tribunal or student disciplinary conference may have the opportunity to attend The HOPE Academy. Decisions regarding those students returning from incarceration at a youth detention facility or other restrictive placements are determined on a case-by-case basis.
The mission of The HOPE Academy is to Help Our Pupils Excel in Academics, Behavior, and Citizenship - The HOPE Academy ABC's. Intensive academic and social skills interventions are provided for those students whose needs are currently not being met through traditional school programs and services. Upon successful completion of The HOPE Academy program and a recommendation by the school principal, students are transitioned to their home schools.
Parent involvement is essential to student success at The HOPE Academy. Parents are required to attend an in-take orientation meeting and to complete a school application process prior to enrollment of their child at The HOPE Academy. Additional parent conferences and meeting days may be scheduled during the semester. Parents are expected to participate in these conferences and meetings to help ensure their child's successful completion of The HOPE Academy program. Parents are also encouraged to call the school to schedule a conference at any time they would like to discuss their child's progress or have a question or concern.
