Abondon hope all ye who enter here...
Well, no, it's not near like that. I used to work in the county system of which New Hope is part of. They didn't used to have a good reputation. Of course, every school has great teachers and poor teachers, but that was the rep.
Over the years, they have made great strides and their reputation is improving. I never taught there, but again, that was the in-system rep.
Despite that fact that locally New Hope has long been called No Hope, I do like that part of the county very much. It is still more "country" than much of the rest of the quickly developing county. It does have a redneck repuation, but again, that is changing.
I find the people there friendly, I think the area is pretty and it is closer to the mountain foothills than the flattter western portion of the county and close to some great fishing.
As stated above, shopping is moving closer to New Hope, but, even if it was, Huntsville is not very far away any way. As time passes, New Hope will become less and less rural.
