This article begins with a 12-year-old girl's story that serves as an example of how "caring coaches" in the schools contribute greatly in helping schools become hopeful places for children. Helping students become more hopeful is rewarding for the students, teachers, school psychologists, counselors, parents, and other caring adults. Twenty years of field research demonstrates that hope is advantageous for people of all ages in several important areas. In this article, the authors describe hope and its components, highlight the positive outcomes associated with high hope, and the hope-enhancing activities of school professionals. Moreover, they provide hope measures and methods for enhancing hope in order to stimulate school psychologists, teachers, and parents to consider the benefits of building hope in children.
