The Hope Rosenwald School is a former Rosenwald School located in Pomaria, South Carolina. It was a part of the series of schools that provided education to rural African American children during the early 20th century.

Built around the mid 1920s, the Hope Rosenwald School, also known as the Hope School, became a special school for young African American kids. It was founded by James Haskell Hope, a former South Carolina Superintendent of Education. He served from 1922 to 1945. The Hope School started from a tract of land that he sold to the Trustees of School District #60 for $5. The other funds were raised from private donations, local government, and the Rosenwald Fund.

The Hope Rosenwald School continues to provide education to young children until today as the Hope School Community Center.
