We are excited to publicly announce a new chapter in the life of Hope Preparatory School!
We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Diane Spear and the vision, leadership, and unwavering dedication she has poured into founding and leading Hope Preparatory School. The countless hours she has invested in serving our students, families, staff, and community through faithful leadership, counseling, and mentoring have left an immeasurable impact. We are deeply thankful for the foundation she has helped build.
While Diane is transitioning from her current leadership role, she will continue to be an integral part of Hope Prep by serving in Partner Development and Curriculum Support, encouraging our teachers and strengthening the mission of our school.
We are equally excited about what God is calling the Spear family to next and the opportunity to establish more Christian classical schools in communities that need them. As Diane shares:
"Gram and I will be launching the Imago Dei Initiative, a new part of our school's mission that will multiply the Kingdom impact of Hope. This ministry will identify, inspire, and equip emerging school leaders in planting new classical Christian schools for children and families of all economic backgrounds throughout North Carolina and beyond. These future school leaders will look to Hope Preparatory as a testimony and model of what God can do through those who step out in faith to love and serve their neighbors through transformative education."
We invite you to join us in praying for the Spear family as they step into this new season of ministry. Pray that the Lord would continue to guide, strengthen, and bless their work as they faithfully pursue His calling.
We also ask that you pray for the Lipari family as they assume new leadership responsibilities at Hope Preparatory School. May God grant them wisdom, discernment, strength, and unity as they lead and serve our school community with faithfulness.
We are filled with anticipation for all that God has in store for Hope Preparatory School and for the many lives that will be impacted through these exciting new opportunities. Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to pursue our mission of providing a Christ-centered, classical education that equips students to know, love, and serve the Lord.
