History
editHope High School's main facilities that are formed in the shape of an "H" were established in 1931 to replace Garland High School built in 1922 and which was subsequently condemned the previous year in 1930 due to poor construction.[4]

editThe assumed course of study follows the Smart Core curriculum developed by the Arkansas Department of Education (ADE), which requires students to complete at least 22 units to graduate. Students complete regular courses and exams and may self-select Advanced Placement (AP) coursework and exams with the opportunity for college credit. The school is accredited by the ADE, and since 1928 by AdvancED.
