About New Hope HS

New Hope High School provides a small school environment with supportive teachers and an accelerated curriculum. In 1997, the promise of an alternative route to high school graduation started with a single teacher. She was fully committed to helping students graduate. Today, LISD continues to provide an alternative way for students to complete their high school education through an accelerated, blended learning curriculum that is facilitated by highly qualified teachers through one-on-one, small group, and individualized instruction.  

If you are interested in becoming a New Hope Phoenix, reach out to your home campus counselor for an application.   Please submit the completed application to your campus counselor.  Once the AP and the counselor portion is complete they will submit it to us on your behalf.      If the criteria have been met, our  New Hope Administrative Specialist will reach out to you to arrange an online interview.
