Welcome to Hoke County High School for the 2011 - 2012 school year. What a great time to be a "Fighting Buck"! One of the most amazing traits of high school is taking our "Eagle" 8th graders, "Tiger" 8th graders, and 8th graders from other middle schools within and outside of North Carolina and melding them into a solid group of "Bucks". While we may have been blue and gold or red and navy once, now we are all together at this place wearing the black, red, and white of Hoke County High School!
All as one and in concert with the goal to reach the top of high schools in the state enables our teachers, students, support personnel, parents, and community to turn "best efforts" into successes at Hoke High School. Academic preparation and performance at the highest possible levels define our focus.
The co-curricular and extra-curricular activities available to our students cover the full range of talents and interests. The year ahead will prove to be challenging, but that is how things should be. Success tastes exceptionally sweet when we look back at the challenges we will have confronted and overcome.
The Hoke County community has long held the educational system at the highest priority. School and community pride give all Hoke High stakeholders the initiative to continue the journey towards excellence in all areas. Progressive achievement on state and federal assessments is an expectation. However, achievement by every student on college and career readiness measures is also an expectation as well as a critical piece in any overall evaluation of the school's services to students and community. High expectations for our entire Hoke High family is the norm, not the exception.
Parents, please don't hesitate to contact us, visit us, or share your feedback. We do not want any grading period, semester, or school year end with anyone being surprised by an outcome. We need and want all our stakeholders to be involved in and contributors to the Hoke High experience!
Go Bucks!
