For over 40 years, through God’s faithfulness and grace, Hope Horizon East Palo Alto has been equipping generations of East of Bayshore youth with the skills, confidence, and support to build lasting change in their lives and communities. Together, we’re developing compassionate leaders who are committed to giving back.

​

Amidst profound challenges in our world and city, we hear the same message from students and families—Hope Horizon is a place where they feel heard, known, and loved. Over this past year alone, we’ve seen extraordinary breakthroughs:

​

• Historic Robotics Achievement: Our high school team, the East Palo Alto Churrobots, made history by competing in the World Robotics Competition—an incredible milestone for our city. With momentum growing, we plan to restart elementary and middle school robotics in the 2024-2025 school year.
   

• Academic Excellence: We expanded our academic programs to include kindergartners, with all students showing remarkable progress. By the end of the school year, 100% of students were at grade level in reading, writing, and math—starting from below grade level at the beginning.
   

• Spiritual Growth: We enhanced our 1:1 spiritual mentorship for high school students and introduced a summer mission trip, creating opportunities for deeper transformation and service.

​

These victories reflect our core mission to nurture not only academic success but also holistic development—mind, heart, and spirit. Inspired by 1 Peter 1:3-4, our theme, “Built to Last”, reminds us that the growth we see here is enduring:
