The Pope Foundation is a group of interested volunteer parents, teachers, administrators and community representatives who want to help prepare Pope students for success - now and in the future! 

Our Mission:  To provide the Pope High School community with supplemental resources to support the school's mission in the areas of academics, athletics, fine arts and facility improvements.

Our Vision:  To position Pope High School as the premier high school in Georgia consistently graduating students who are best prepared to succeed in their chosen walks through life. 

Why the Foundation?

The fact is that School District and State funds provide our school with the ability to deliver only a basic education. We firmly believe that  OUR STUDENTS DESERVE MORE.

The Pope Foundation is committed to helping our school - and students - by filling the gap between funding that the School District and State provide and what we WANT and EXPECT for our children.

How we execute our goals...

We will aggressively pursue a variety of funding sources that will generate monies to enhance Pope High School. Specifically, we will:

• Solicit donations and other financial support from the local community, service organizations, corporations, and other foundations

• Seek private donations from our school families and alumni who share our passion for providing Pope students with the best possible education and facilities

• Hold special fundraising events

• Write grants to acquire funding for specific programs and projects
