Hope honors Jets on its water tower

HOPE — The town of Hope is showing its pride over the accomplishments of the Hauser High School Jets.

Hope Town Council members paused at their meeting Nov. 21 to show a slide of the town’s recently repainted water tower which now features the Jets logo.

When the $280,000 tower project was approved in April, some council members began asking whether Hauser High School’s logo could be displayed on the side of the tower facing the school’s athletics facilities.

After estimates came in higher than expected, the council turned to the Hauser Booster Club for assistance.

During the meeting, Hope town manager J.T. Doane said the town received a $4,480 check on Nov. 16 to pay most of the cost of the logo.
