Hi, I am Hope Brown and I’m excited to join the Turning Point Academy family as the HS English Teacher!!
Stepping into a new chapter with Turning Point Academy feels like the perfect blend of purpose, passion, and community. After a long and meaningful career in financial services, I’m excited to transition into education as an English teacher right here in Cleveland County. Over the years, I’ve loved volunteering with students in CCS through the CTE program, and that experience sparked a deeper desire to support learners in my community.
My background includes a Master’s in Occupational Change and Leadership through Pfeiffer University, a Bachelor’s in Management and Society through UNC Chapel Hill, and decades of service across local schools, youth programs, churches, and civic organizations, investing in Cleveland and Gaston County has always been a part of who I am, and I am grateful for the chance to continue that work in the classroom.
Outside of school, you’ll usually find me traveling to new places and immersing myself in different cultures - learning is my favorite adventure. I’m passionate about helping others grow, whether they’re students, colleagues, or the people I meet along the way.
Most importantly, I am a bother to two incredible me (though they’ll always be my boys) and “Hoppy” to two grandchildren who have absolutely stolen my heart.
I’m looking forward to this next season and to serving the students and families of Cleveland County with everything I’ve learned and everything I’m still learning!!

Turning Point Academy is excited to welcome Mrs. Brown to the Phoenix Family!!
