Our Mission
Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention and mental health awareness group, that empowers students to stand up for one another. We encourage students to speak up, seek help, and save lives. Our goal is to ensure that each person in our school community knows they are loved, seen, and heard.
Meet Your Hope Squad
What's Happening in Hope Squad?
This week we talked about the HOPE Approach and how to recognize suicide warning signs. We were so impressed by the conversations we had in class. Students also finished their HOPE Approach Digital Poster and Infomercial which wraps up their first major grade!
Our students also continued to earn service hours by opening car doors Wednesday morning. It was so great getting to see them bring a smile to so many faces.
