[edit] History
Hope was originally a single campus which housed both primary and secondary students. As enrollment increased over time, the single campus was no longer sufficient for the school's needs. In the late 1990s the school purchased a nearby church and its adjacent land. This land, located just northwest of the original campus, was developed into a primary school campus. Hope currently has three campuses, the mid school campus, the high school campus, and the elementary school campus. In early 2002, the school purchased a plot of land just north of the main high school campus, which now houses the middle-school campus.
[edit] Campuses
Hope currently houses three campuses along Palomas Avenue in NE Albuquerque, parallel to Paseo Del Norte between San Pedro and Louisiana. The Elementary Campus houses grades K-5, as well as Hope Preschool (Preschool and Pre-K, ages 3-4). The Middle School Campus, in its beautiful new, state-of-the-art facility on the corner of Paseo and Louisiana, houses grades 6-8. And the High School houses grades 9-12.
[edit] Athletics
Hope offers its student body a wide selection of sports for boys and girls, including a football program which began in 2009. The girls and boys basketball programs are phenomenal. Along with all the other sports they have to offer. Further more, the swim team is one of the best in the state, their unmatched skill in the water is best described as "aquatic".
[edit] Alumni
Hope has also begun formally organizing an Alumni Association, and is enjoying increased support and involvement from its 30+ year history of alumni.
