A Message from Your Principal:
Pope students and families—What a fantastic start to the school year. Thank you, thank you, thank you! It has been so nice welcoming kids in the hallways each morning and experiencing our first spirit day today with “Beach Day”. There are great things happening at Pope High School and excitement is in the air. I want to extend a special congratulations to the Pope community for a 100% pass rate on End of Pathway Assessments (Audio Visual, Culinary, and Engineering/Technology). Well done. Pope students truly are achieving extraordinary success. I hope you all have a safe enjoyable weekend. Please review the important information below. Go Greyhounds!

Pope High School expects district issued laptops to be a regular part of instructional practices by our teachers. If your student has not consistently used their county-issued laptop this summer, please have your student do the following:
- Plug the device in and turn on the power
- Login and connect to your home Wi-Fi
- Leave the computer on overnight to receive updates that were pushed out over the summer.
- If there is an issue with the updates, this device should be brought to Stampede or to the media center once school has started.
If you have not previously opted in for a laptop, please utilize ParentVUE to opt in for a device. Laptops will be distributed for new opt-ins during the first two weeks of school.
