Chair Sophe Pope is a native of Henry County and a 2005 graduate of Union Grove High School.  After obtaining her post-secondary degrees, Pope returned to her high school alma to teach Spanish.  Upon the arrival of her first daughter, Pope made the switch to being a full-time mom.  She also used this time to volunteer and lead the children's ministries at McDonough Presbyterian Church.

Pope's familiarity with public education and a desire to support children and the community were key factors in her decision to run for a spot on the school board.  A blend of passion and experience is what she uses to serve her constituents.  With her first child set to enter school in the district, she brings a unique perspective to the board as being a former teacher, a graduate, and now a parent of an HCS student.  She is proud of the employees in the system and their outstanding work toward helping students achieve at the highest levels.

She and her husband Dusty are the proud parents of four daughters - Ellie Ann, Mamie Cole, Hazel Lane, and Gladie Pearl.
