On May 9, 2025, Hope Academy celebrated a momentous occasion with the Investiture Ceremony for the 2025-26 academic year. The event marked the official appointment of the new student council, including a historic milestone: the introduction of both a School Captain (Girl) and School Captain (Boy), alongside their respective Vice-Captains. This diverse and inclusive leadership team reflects the school’s commitment to fostering equality and collaboration.

The ceremony was graced by the presence of our esteemed Principal, whose inspiring address set the tone for the event. Emphasizing the importance of responsibility, the Principal urged the newly appointed leaders to take their roles seriously, as the school has placed immense faith in their abilities. “Leadership is not just about titles; it’s about balancing your duties with your studies and learning skills that are vital in today’s world,” the Principal remarked. The speech highlighted the need for cooperation and teamwork, encouraging the council members to work harmoniously to achieve common goals.

The 2025-26 student council is led by Thejano Kuotsu and Sedevi Nagi as School Captains, with Phanglung Phom and Kuphelu Sema serving as School Vice-Captains. The House Captains and Vice-Captains for Lincoln (Red), Luther (Blue), Mandela (Yellow), and Gandhi (Green) were also appointed, each ready to uphold their house’s legacy while fostering unity across the school. Notable appointments include Petekhrienuo Rhetso and Tinglem Manpang Wangnao for Lincoln House, Rokoheno Chachei and Kumsangpong for Luther House, Evalyn Siedzevino Kiso and Tokusa H Murumi for Mandela House, and Novinu Vitsu and Nyeiang L Angh for Gandhi House.

The Principal’s address resonated deeply with the students, particularly the call to balance academics with leadership responsibilities. “These skills—responsibility, teamwork, and balance—will shape you not just as students but as future leaders in a complex world,” the Principal noted.

The Investiture Ceremony was more than a formal event; it was a celebration of trust, potential, and the beginning of a journey for these young leaders. As the new council steps into their roles, the school community looks forward to a year of collaboration, innovation, and shared success.

Here’s to the leaders of 2025-26—may they inspire, unite, and lead with integrity!
