What are Hope Squad Officers?
Hope Squad Officers are selected by fellow Hope Squad members. Each officer is given responsibilities to support other Hope Squad members throughout the year. We highly recommend appointing secondary-level Hope Squad officers to empower students to develop their leadership, creativity, and teamwork skills, which are crucial for their future endeavors. Providing students with the opportunity to serve as Hope Squad officers can amplify student voices and enhance school culture by creating a more engaging and enjoyable environment for all students. For more details, refer to the Hope Squad Officer guide under Squad Success.
