What are Hope Squad Officers?

Hope Squad Officers are Members of the Squad that are selected by fellow Hope Squad Members. Each officer is given responsibilities to support other Hope Squad members throughout the year and to provide clear leadership and organization within the Squad. 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 found in the Advisor Portal under the Community Engagement section. 
 

We especially recommend appointing Hope Squad officers in Junior High/Middle School and High School Hope Squads to empower students to develop their leadership, creativity, and teamwork skills.
