Liberia, which means “land of the free”, declared independence on July 26, 1847, and became the first republic on the African Continent. A complex and brutal history followed that led to Liberia’s civil war(s).
Today, we celebrate with our Liberian friends and partners their independence and look forward to a future of liberty for all.
The Hope International School Press Club was established in 2020 through the help of Sekou Aminata Konneh, an alumnus and former Vice President of the Hope International School Alumni Association.
The Press Club is dedicated to providing journalistic opportunities among Hope International students to gain skills in writing, editing, interviewing, and photography. While also fostering teamwork and communication. It can also enhance students' understanding of current events, as well as school and community issues.

As summer gets underway, we celebrate together 17 years of Hope. The campus is emptying and will soon begin readying for the doors to open for our 18th year. Over the summer, we will be sharing some stories that there just didn't seem to be time for in the busyness of the school year.
We wish the students and staff of Hope International and you, the community of Hope, some rest and fun over the next couple of months. May we all find reasons for celebration and connection and living generously.
