The school is offering the public a chance to see the new facility on June 22nd from 11 am to 2 pm. The new location is 13806 SR 33 in Groveland, Florida. The high school is a brand-new 10,000-square-foot building, which includes new classrooms, faculty offices, and a gym.
Hope Academy offers great girls’ and boys’ basketball programs along with girls’ volleyball. More sports will be added in the near future. The brand-new gym will be a welcomed addition as HPA is becoming well-known for its basketball program in the area.
