The Arkansas Department of Education released school report card data today, and we are proud to share that Mountain Home Public Schools received a B rating across the board!

These results reflect the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, staff, administrators, and families across the district. While a school report card can never tell the full story of what happens in our classrooms each day, we are proud of the growth these results represent.

Congratulations, Bombers! We are proud of you and grateful for the work you do each and every day.

Who needs scratch paper when you can write on the table?

Mrs. Hickman’s math students at the Jr. High are putting their knowledge of exponent rules to work on her new high-top dry erase tables! Students can work through problems, collaborate with classmates, and show their thinking right at their seats.

The new tables were purchased through a grant from the Mountain Home Education Foundation, helping bring another hands-on learning opportunity into the classroom.

We love seeing our students learning , and our MHEF grants at work!

Learning from those who serve!

Criminal Justice students had the opportunity to hear firsthand from Sgt. Jackie Stinnett, Cpl. Clint Henderson, and Cpl. Kevin Helm of the Arkansas State Police.

After learning about careers in law enforcement in the classroom, students were able to hear directly from the troopers about their roles, career paths, and what it takes to serve in law enforcement.

Before the visit was over, Sgt. Stinnett did a little career exploration of his own! He climbed into one of our Aviation Program flight simulators and successfully took off in a commercial airliner!

We appreciate Sgt. Stinnett, Cpl. Henderson, and Cpl. Helm for taking the time to share their experiences with our students and give them a real-world look at careers in law enforcement.

RAZORBACK READY CHAMPIONS! 🐗🏆

Hackler Intermediate School had some very special visitors today!

You might remember a video that was shared in May featuring some of our 4th grade students taking on the #RazorbackReady2026 challenge. Well… that video WON! And today, our students got to celebrate in a pretty unforgettable way!

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Razorback Men’s Basketball Head Coach John Calipari visited Hackler today for a school-wide celebration with students and staff.

Coach Calipari spoke to students about being good learners, working through adversity, and continuing to push themselves on the path to success.

After the assembly, the students who starred in the winning video got an extra-special reward, and were able to hit the court for a round of Knockout with Coach Calipari and Governor Sanders! 🏀

Razorback Ready is encouraging Arkansas students to get moving, challenge themselves, and build healthy habits as schools prepare to incorporate elements of the fitness test into physical education beginning this school year.

We are so proud of our Hackler students for representing Mountain Home Public Schools and showing Arkansas that our Bombers are #RazorbackReady2026! 💙💛🐗

What a day at to be a Bomber!
