Good Works at Good Hope "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Gandhi NEXT PROJECT: Quuen Louise Fun Day, Saturday, May 5th. Call 772-0022 to volunteer!

At Good Hope, we seek to awaken in each student a sense of being a significant and creative individual and a responsible, contributing member of society. We approach these goals through an educational program of intellectual, aesthetic and physical development, social involvement, and moral understanding.

Community service is a critical part of our educational program.

Current community service initiatives:

Class participation in Coastweeks is an important aspect of Good Hope School 's emphasis on community service. GHS promotes ocean awareness education at all grade levels. The Saturday, Sandy Point cleanup, is a push to extend this learning to family and friends. The beach cleanups give students an opportunity to play a valuable role in the preservation of St. Croix 's natural environment. Read a press release on our most recent effort and view pictures.

Interact is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young people ages 14-18. The program gives young people an opportunity to participate in fun, meaningful service projects while developing leadership skills and meeting new friends.

The Good Hope School Interact Club has spearheaded aide to an orphanage in Uganda. The program brought international attention to this organizations mission and dire need. Rotary International has now made this project a key focus and is looking at not only extending aide but initiating a clean water project for this orphanage that shelters victims of AIDS.

The Good Hope School Interact Club will provide leadership training this year to other local high school Interact Clubs.

Friends of the Animal Shelter This is a Lower School club that focuses on compassion towards animals and community service. In collaboration with St. Croix 's Animal Welfare Center , Good Hope works with a group of parents and students to socialize puppies through play; assist with cleaning and shelter needs; and help gather donated items, such as newspapers and pet food. A bulletin board at school helps educate and inform the rest of the community with touching stories and photos. Children, at a young age learn about animal care, social responsibility, accountability, and tenderness towards living beings that are less fortunate.
