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.

“There were metal detectors on the staff-room doors and Hernandez usually had a drawer full of push-daggers, nunchuks, stun-guns, knucks, boot-knives, and whatever else the detectors had picked up. Like Friday morning at a South Miami high school.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“By the North Gate, the wind blows full of sand,
Lonely from the beginning of time until now!
Trees fall, the grass goes yellow with autumn.”
—Li Po (701–762)
“And she’d had lucky eyes and a high heart,
And wisdom that caught fire like the dried flax,
At need, and made her beautiful and fierce,
Sudden and laughing.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
