Available to K-12 schools in Alabama, the Hope Leadership Academy is designed to inspire transformational change by introducing administrator and educator teams to the process of building a character-focused school culture. This energizing, three-year process lets participants learn from national character education leaders, concentrate on the culture of their school, design character development plans for their school, visit schools with character programs already implemented, and network with other school leaders.
