About St. HOPE Public Schools

Since 2003, St. HOPE Public Schools has passionately worked toward the mission of graduating self-motivated, industrious, and critical thinking leaders who are committed to serving others, passionate about lifelong learning, and prepared to earn a degree from a four-year college. St. HOPE Public Schools includes three charter schools: PS7 Elementary School, PS7 Middle School, and Sacramento Charter High School located in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento.

We’ve raised the bar, and our schools are producing extraordinary results in closing the achievement gap and helping our scholars reach their fullest potential. Our student demographics have a much higher percentage of minority and low-income scholars, yet our state testing scores show much better results than District averages.

At St. HOPE Public Schools, we believe in the power of the classroom teacher and know that having three years of excellent teaching can overcome the average achievement deficit between low-income scholars and others. We consistently ground ourselves in this belief and prioritize collaboration to build upon scholar success year after year.

Although St. HOPE Public Schools has come a long way in the last 18 years, there is still much more to accomplish. St. HOPE Public Schools looks forward to continuing its vision of being one of the finest urban TK-12 public school systems in the nation and seeks outstanding individuals who are committed to this journey.

The ideal candidate will bring passion and grit to the mission and vision of St. HOPE Public Schools and a desire to positively impact the Oak Park community and help close the achievement gap for our scholar population.

  1. High Expectations: You set the bar high for every scholar and yourself.
