Hope Hill Elementary Needs Your Help

Passing this along from Inman Middle School PTA Co-Presidents Regina Brewer and Alex Coffman…

Our neighborhoods are very fortunate to be home to some of the best schools in the state of Georgia. Grady Cluster schools are high performing and richly diverse which enhances the children’s education experience. Hope Hill Elementary School is one of the feeder schools to Inman Middle and Grady High.  Hope Hill is making incredible progress under the dynamic leadership of Principal Maureen Wheeler but it still faces many challenges for a school comprised of a student population of over 85% eligible for free and reduced lunch.

Inman Middle PTA is reaching out to the community to ask for assistance and mentoring for this school. Angela Lewis, Hope Hill and Inman Middle parent, provided us with a list of needs.  Please reach out to her at [email protected] and help these wonderful kids to achieve success.

  • Redoing the foyer with a fresh idea and welcome, academic atmosphere
    • There are three trophy cases that need something nice displayed and a bulletin board that needs a welcoming display.
  • Photography–we need some candid shots of students and activities and put in frames around the school (black and white).
