Bomber Update: We've had lots of questions about how our community partners can help students this time of year. Here are a couple ways! https://youtu.be/qm8W4Bf9MMM
A huge thank you to one of our community partners: Basscat Boats. Their employees donated 150 Thanksgiving meal bags to Mountain Home Public Schools. Heather Curtis from Basscat is pictured here with some of our school counselors and Serenity's outreach case manager.
GATE Family Trivia Night was a tremendous success, and we look forward to hosting again!
We had 140 people who stayed and participated in trivia and more who were there before trivia started to look at student projects!

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission held its inaugural Generation Conservation summit on Nov. 5-6, 2025. Student groups from around the state faced off in conservation-related competitions for bragging rights, prizes and possible additional funding for their school. Two Mountain Home students shined in their respective competitions:
- Placing 1st in the Private Lands Habitat - Plant ID Competition was 7th grader, Bradley Tilley.
- Placing 1st in Recreational Shooting - 3D Archery Challenge was 8th grader, Case Hardin.

On Friday, our 6th grade Ambassadors enjoyed spending recess at the Kindergarten and cleaning up their playground. Big thanks to Natural Smiles Pediatric Dentistry for sponsoring our ambassador t-shirts this year!
Here are some photos from Wednesday's "Take a Veteran To School" event! Thank you to everyone who coordinated and participated in this educational day!
From Mrs. Lacefield at Pinkston Middle School:
Pinkston Middle School held their annual "Take a Veteran to School" event earlier this week. 35 veterans (and one service dog) were in attendance, sharing their stories and memorabilia with the 7th grade social studies classes throughout the day.
Veterans also enjoyed a patriotic performance by the Pinkston choirs, as well as a catered lunch from Holy Smokes BBQ, sponsored by Century Bank of the Ozarks.
The students loved interacting with guests and especially enjoyed visiting with Ms. Edith Mitchell, who served as a chaplain's assistant in WWII. At age 103, she holds the title of oldest female veteran in the state of Arkansas.
Everyone learned so much from our community's veterans, and plans are already in the works for next year!

This month's MHJH First Security Leadership Award recipient is Paysli Barker. Paysli is always working hard, with a smile on her face. She is eager to learn and wants to ensure everything is done and done with excellence. She is not afraid to ask questions and is willing to help others when they get stuck. Paysli is a quiet presence in the classroom, but when she is called on, she will speak up and speak out and she truly exemplifies what a model student looks like.
Your boys and girls 5A XC team champions!

These students have worked hard and have NO zeros for math at all this year in Mrs. Hickman's class! Their quote: "This 🍩 is the only zero I have had all year." Congratulations, kids!

Last week, students in the Foundations of Law Enforcement class had the opportunity to hear from Lt. Tabitha Maze and Cpl. Julie Tilley of the Baxter County Detention Center. The officers provided an in-depth overview of jail operations and prisoner transport procedures, giving students valuable insight into the daily responsibilities of detention personnel.
In addition, Lt. Maze and Cpl. Tilley discussed the qualifications and training required for employment at the detention center after graduation, helping students better understand the expectations and opportunities available in this important field of law enforcement.
