Strong Players and Students

The Hope International football team is one of the oldest teams at the school. It is headed by Coach Howard Brigman, who is an alumni of Hope International's first graduating class in 2013. Coach Brigman shares that after high school "I was fortunate to play in the country's first division league. After years of playing football, I returned to serve my high school as a coach to train and mentor football players."

The captain of the team is senior Lassana Bafalie. He was selected for his leadership on and off the field.

Thank you for representing the Crab Kingdom!

Land of the Free

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.
