Student Government

The Our Lady of Hope School Student Government is a school organization comprised of student officers and representatives who were elected by their peers.  The student government is the voice of the student body. They help share student ideas, interests, and concerns with the school wide community.  

The purpose of the student government is to give students opportunities to practice Catholic virtues; to develop leadership skills through service to their school and one another; and to be models of “messengers of hope for the world.”
