• Given workshops on college admissions;

• Provided hundreds of hours of SAT tutoring;

• Brought the SAT to Rappahannock and given it to 385 students;

• Raised over $350,000 in scholarship money;

• Talked with 100 percent of the graduating seniors over the last four years;

Hope recounted asking Amy Silver - a grant writer who helped raise money for the program: “What if this doesn’t work and I blow the $90,000 grant?”

Well, it did work, and Hope leaves the program, and Rappahannock High School, with a changed culture. ».•
