Our History. Our Stories.

High Hopes is grateful for the volunteer spirit that infuses the organization.  In late June, the High Hopes Trustees gathered for their final Board meeting of the year. We proudly celebrated Jackie Kangley and John Catlett for their years of dedicated service to High Hopes and unwavering commitment to our mission. They were each honored in special ways, and Lulu, our miniature pony, joined in the tribute. We also welcomed two new trustees who will share their expertise and guidance with the organization. ⁠

"Grateful for the Board's leadership this year, I eagerly anticipate working with our new Trustees, Barbara Willkens and Beth Garrity, as we continue to advance our mission at High Hopes." Missy Lamont, Executive Director
🎆 Wishing everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🎆 ⁠

In observance of the holiday, our offices will be closed on July 4th and 5th. Enjoy the celebrations, and we'll see you soon!
Yesterday was Missy Lamont's first official day as the new Executive Director! We are so grateful to Alison Zack Darrell for all she did in the interim executive director role and her commitment to ensuring a seamless transition. If you haven't already, please help us welcome Missy in her new role!
