School of Hope History

In 1952 Dr. Max E. Miller, and his wife, Leona were looking for services such as a school for their daughter, Marylynn, who was disabled. The Millers and a few other people in the community started meeting in a church basement. Until 1958 when they constructed this facility for disabled children and named it, “The School of Hope”.

Additional construction was done in 1962 and later in 1974.

By the year 2007, the school had built several facilities and expanded its programs for people of all ages with special needs to become what is now “Hope Enterprises” and relocated to their current address in Newberry.

From 2007-2018 the facility served as a drug and alcohol treatment center until April 2019.
