School is much more than buildings and classrooms.

Each school has a story that makes them unique, from the students to the teachers. A great school can be at the heart of its community, playing an important role in creating happy, fulfilled lives for everyone - whether students, staff, families, or other members of their local community.

This is the story of Pope Farm Elementary!

Welcome to Pope Farm Elementary, Home of the Prairie Dogs! We take great pride in our school being a place where everyone—students, teachers, and staff alike—feels like they belong. We are committed to building an environment that resembles a family, emphasizing inclusivity, support, and safety for all involved.

In our school community, the sense of togetherness stands out, with a foundation built on mutual support and active participation. Our staff, from the principal to our motivated teachers and support team, work tirelessly to create more than just a place of learning but a second home for our students.

Our teaching team is remarkable, balancing the core curriculum with innovative educational practices and exceptional communication. Our STEAM program, for example, brings Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math to life, providing students not just with academic knowledge but also with the confidence to explore creative and critical thinking through activities like coding and digital book creation.

Learning at Pope Farm extends beyond the classroom. Our campus is adjacent to a stunning 120-acre nature conservancy that allows for hands-on, experiential learning. We engage our students with outdoor activities, ensuring that learning is dynamic and engaging.

Cultural diversity is celebrated here with events that showcase our students’ talents in performances and art. These activities, along with strong partnerships within our community and beyond, enhance the learning experience, adding vibrancy and joy to our school life. We also prioritize the safety of everyone at Pope Farm, with meticulous procedures in place to maintain a secure environment. 

Highlights of our school year include the annual STEAM fair and the Pope Farm art show, where students get to showcase their skills and creativity. These events reflect the innovative spirit our educators nurture throughout the year.

Pope Farm Elementary is more than a school; it’s a foundation for future leaders. It's where technology, creativity, and learning come together in a supportive environment. We’re not just focused on education; our goal is to create a brighter future for our students, fostering community spirit, creativity, and inclusivity along the way. 

Join us on this journey of learning and growth, and embrace the spirit of the Prairie Dogs, who symbolize our collective resilience and teamwork!
