Founders Message

ā€œEducation is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fireā€ William Butler Yeats

Our philosophy of education is that all children are unique and should have equal access to high quality education in a stimulating educational environment. We believe Hands of Hope Faith Academy is well on the road to achieving this.

“Genius is in the idea. Impact, however, comes from action.”

Administrator's Message

Our focus is on excellence

I recently retired from more than 30 years working in public schools. Pastor Duane knew I was retiring, so invited me to become part of the HOHFA to operate in the roles of Administrator and Consultant. I was happy to accept this position and have already made a significant amount of changes which will boost HOHFA’s academic performance.

I look forward to working with all of you to make sure all our young learners excel.
