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.

Famous quotes containing the words north, high and/or school:
“I know no East or West, North or South, when it comes to my class fighting the battle for justice. If it is my fortune to live to see the industrial chain broken from every workingman’s child in America, and if then there is one black child in Africa in bondage, there shall I go.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Processions that lack high stilts have nothing that catches the eye.
What if my great-granddad had a pair that were twenty foot high,
And mine were but fifteen foot, no modern stalks upon higher,
Some rogue of the world stole them to patch up a fence or a fire.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
