HOPE AWARDS
Honoring Outstanding Personal Excellence
Since 1996, the Foundation has recognized students who display exceptional attitudes and actions, inspire others and make their schools and communities better places with HOPE Awards. Each elementary and secondary school in the LPS family nominates a recipient for the Personal Initiative, Courage and Humanitarian awards, and secondary schools also select recipients for the Integrity and Community Service awards.
