Administration
Our team is made up of dedicated, caring and compassionate teachers and staff who are all licensed and trained in best practices for a substance-impacted learner. At Hope Academy, our small class sizes allow each student to receive one-on-one instruction as needed. We are committed to supporting our students and their families throughout the recovery process.
Hope Academy is currently hiring a Social Worker Recovery Coach. Candidates may email their resume and cover letter to Rachelle Gardner.
