The North Pocono High School is located on Bochicchio Blvd in Covington Township, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. The school was built in 2009. It is the only high school in the North Pocono School District, which covers a vast amount of territory in Northeast Pennsylvania, including parts of Wayne County and all of southern and east-central Lackawanna County. Because the district covers so much territory, the high school serves a student population of over 1000 students, which is an average size for high schools in the region.
The old high school, located on Church Street in the Borough of Moscow, is now the North Pocono Middle School and houses grades 6 through 8, with the new high school containing grades 9 through 12.
Usually there are over 70 faculty members, which creates a teacher-student ratio of 1:15. Each grade consists of approximately 220-280 students.

“The recent attempt to secure a charter from the State of North Dakota for a lottery company, the pending effort to obtain from the State of Louisiana a renewal of the charter of the Louisiana State Lottery, and the establishment of one or more lottery companies at Mexican towns near our border, have served the good purpose of calling public attention to an evil of vast proportions.”

“In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,
The graves stood tenantless and the sheeted dead
Did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.””
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
