History of Pope Habitat for Humanity
2008 by Chris Sterling
Alan C. Pope High School Habitat for Humanity was founded in September 1997. The school is located in East Cobb of Marietta, Georgia. Every year, 300 students and volunteers work hard to raise over $40,000. It may seem like an unfeasible task, but we've managed to raise it every year with the help of the surrounding community. In the spring, all the hard-working volunteers and students put their heads together, and they build a house for one lucky family. It is an amazing site to see. High school students, parents, volunteers, and sponsors take time out of their busy schedules (every Saturday for ten weeks) to help build a beautiful home. In the spring of 2008 we will build and sponsor our 10th house.
