Hope Collegiate Academy to Host March 16 Information Meeting

Families with current ninth-grade students are invited to learn more about Hope Collegiate Academy during a special interest and information meeting set for Monday, March 16, 2026.

Meeting Set for March 16 on the UA Hope, Arkansas Campus

The meeting will begin at 6 PM in the Johnny Rapert Library Auditorium on the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana, Hope campus.

Students and their parents or guardians will receive an overview of the academy’s academic programs, admissions requirements, and expectations. Organizers say the session is designed to help families decide whether the collegiate model is a good fit for their student.

Earn a Diploma and Degree at the Same Time

Hope Collegiate Academy is a partnership between the Hope Public School District and the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana. The program offers a three-year curriculum that allows students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree at the same time.

According to school officials, students in the program save an average of $20,394 compared to the cost of attending the first two years at an Arkansas public four-year university.

The March 16 event will also include a guided tour of the academy wing, giving families a firsthand look at classrooms and learning spaces.
