Hope High School (Rhode Island)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hope High School is a public high school in the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A. operated by Providence Public School District. Since 2003, Hope High School has been partitioned into three semi-independent "communities", each with its own principal:

  • Hope High School Arts Community - Scott Sutherland, Principal
  • Hope Info Tech - Dr. Arthur P. Petrosinelli, Principal
  • Hope Leadership - Dr. Wayne Montague, Principal

This triune system was built to remedy a history of exceptionally low test scores at Hope High School. Many regard Hope High - and the future success or failure of these reforms - as a "litmus test" for educational reform in Rhode Island.[1]


It serves grades 9-12 with a total of 1449 students.
