Parent/Guardian Chair — Hope-Hill Elementary GO Team 2026

Parent & Guardian Chair — GO Team

I'm honored to serve Hope-Hill Elementary as the Parent/Guardian Chair on our GO Team. This seat puts parents at the table where real decisions are made — budget priorities, school improvement plans, and how we invest in our students' futures.

I bring the same energy I've always had as Jude Couch's dad: showing up, staying engaged, and making sure our community's voice is heard loud and clear inside the school.

  • Former Technology Chair, Grant Park Elementary
  • Audio Engineering Society — Student Chapter Chair
  • Community organizer with deep roots in Atlanta
  • Corporate innovation leader — builds programs and partnerships professionally
  • Jude Couch's dad — invested in Hope-Hill every single day

What is the GO Team?

Governance Body

The GO Team is the official school governance council for every Atlanta Public Schools campus — a collaborative body that shapes school direction alongside the principal.

Who's On It

The team includes parents, teachers, community members, and school staff — all elected by their peers to represent the Hope-Hill community.

What It Decides

The GO Team reviews and approves the School Improvement Plan, budget priorities, and school-level policies that affect students and families directly.

How It Meets

Meetings are open to the public and held monthly. Parents and community members are always welcome to attend, observe, and weigh in during public comment.

What I'm focused on this year.

1

Partnerships & Resources

Bring in organizational partnerships that unlock funding and resources our school wouldn't otherwise have access to.

2

Expand STEAM

Grow coding, robotics, and hands-on learning programs that prepare our kids for the world they're actually going to live in.

3

Transparent Communication

Keep parents informed and engaged — regular updates on GO Team decisions, meeting summaries, and how to get involved.

4

Whole-Family Support

Support students, families, and staff holistically — because kids thrive when the whole community is taken care of.

Your voice belongs at the table.

Attend a Meeting

GO Team meetings are open to the public. Come see how decisions are made and speak during public comment.
