News and Events
We were thrilled to welcome the St. Paul Firefighters from the Payne-Phalen Department to our school! Our students had the opportunity to explore a real fire truck and learn about the accessories. They watched as a firefighter demonstrated the full protective gear, and they learned essential fire safety skills, including the “Stop, Drop, and Roll” technique. A heartfelt thank you to our community’s heroes for their dedication to teaching and inspiring the next generation!
Local Literacy Plan HOPE Community Academy: 2024-2025 School Year
To support every child reading at or above grade level every year, beginning in kindergarten, and to support multilingual learners and students receiving special education services in achieving their individualized reading goals to meet grade-level proficiency, a school district or charter school must adopt a local literacy plan that describes how they are working to meet that goal.

Direct Admissions Minnesota
To support our students’ postsecondary journeys, HOPE Community Academy has joined the Direct Admissions Minnesota program for the 2024-25 school year. Direct Admissions offers seniors a look at the many college options they have after high school by proactively notifying them of which Minnesota colleges and universities they are accepted to – before they even apply!

OUR STUDENTS
So incredibly proud of our amazing group of 4th and 5th graders from the Robotics After School Program! They did 3 robot runs, presented a project to judges, and showed the robot and its programs to different judges. The team had great fun and did well in the “Non-Advancing” Event. They received a Motivate Award for exceeding “their own expectations with impromptu building skills to double their score” Way to go, team!
