Our annual Back-to-School Convocation at Dunbar Auditorium was the perfect way to kick off a brand new school year with district staff! 💙💛

From celebrating innovation through Mountain Home Education Foundation classroom grants to getting a first look at this year's staff shirts from Arvest Bank, the morning was filled with excitement, encouragement, and plenty of Bomber pride.

A huge thank you to Mountain Home PTO for treating our staff to giveaways from Restore by King Dermatology, The Karaoke Barn, and The Pilates Studio, and for partnering with NEXT, Powered by NAEC, to provide delicious donuts and coffee from 870 Coffee Co.

Congratulations to David and Julie Hirsh, who were awarded a shopping spree courtesy of Butler Furniture!

We were inspired by keynote speaker Eli Cranor, then wrapped up the morning with an unforgettable round of Double Dare MHPS, proving once again that no one has more fun than Bomber staff!

Events like this wouldn't be possible without the support of our incredible community partners and volunteers. Thank you to Mountain Home Education Foundation, Arvest Bank, Butler Furniture, Mountain Home PTO, NEXT, Powered by NAEC, 870 Coffee Co., Spectrum Connections of Arkansas, our Mountain Home Public Schools Board of Education, and the many students and staff who helped make the day a success—including Bomber Cheer, Bomber Dance, NJROTC, Bomber Band, Bomber Choir, Bomber Theatre, and the Bomber Media Collective.

Here's to an incredible 2026-2027 school year. Go Bombers! 💙✈️

Mountain Home High School band directors Mr. Hufford and Mr. May recently had the honor of serving as conductors at the Arkansas Bandmasters Association Conducting Symposium in Fort Smith. The symposium brings together music educators from across the state for professional learning, collaboration, and the opportunity to strengthen their craft as conductors.

Their invitation to lead fellow educators is a testament to the respect they have earned within Arkansas's music education community. We’re proud to have educators who not only inspire our students every day, but also help shape and mentor music teachers across the state.

A note from your nurse about Open House:
7 days ago, MHPS Communications Dept
We’re excited to welcome everyone back!  If you’re attending Open House, please stop by and see your school nurse to: • Drop off daily or emergency medications (EpiPens, inhalers, seizure medications, etc.) • Complete any required medication forms • Share important medical information • Turn in updated immunization records or exemption documentation  If you can’t make Open House, please call your child’s school and ask to speak with the nurse to arrange another time before school starts.  A special request: Please avoid bringing medications or paperwork on the morning of the first day of school if possible. It’s one of our busiest times, and it’s difficult to safely process medications while students are arriving. Calling ahead to arrange a time will help with your wait time to speak with the nurse and it also helps ensure your child is ready for a safe and successful first day.  We look forward to partnering with you for a healthy, safe, and wonderful school year!

Meet Leo!

Leo is a 17-month-old Springer Spaniel and is a new member of the Mountain Home Public Schools team! Leo has spent his summer mornings running tracks, and his afternoons training to locate hidden narcotics.

He is trained to identify the source of five different narcotics, and his commands are given in Czech!

You'll likely spot Leo around the district this year as he works alongside his handler, SRO Recktenwald, to help keep our schools safe.

Welcome to the Bomber family, Leo! 💙💛

Congratulations to Mr. Tim Harris, Mr. Dustin Rose, and Ms. Kiara Alvarez for representing Mountain Home Public Schools as presenters at this year's ALE Summer Conference!

The trio shared their presentation, "Growing Student Achievement: Improving ATLAS Scores Through Data-Driven Instruction," showcasing the work happening at Guy Berry College & Career Academy to improve student achievement. Their session focused on using data to identify learning gaps, target instruction, strengthen intervention systems, increase student engagement, and build a culture of achievement that leads to stronger ATLAS results. They also highlighted the importance of collaboration through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), frequent formative assessments, and high-quality, standards-based instruction to help every student succeed.

Presenting at a statewide conference is an incredible opportunity to share successful practices with educators from across Arkansas. Thank you, Mr. Harris, Mr. Rose, and Ms. Alvarez, for your leadership, your dedication to student success, and your commitment to helping educators across the state grow alongside you.

Congratulations to Mountain Home Bomber swimmer Callie Kohler!

What an incredible performance at the Sectional Championships!
For the second time this season, Callie Kohler has earned a USA Swimming Futures qualifying time! After previously qualifying in the 100 Backstroke, she added a second Futures cut in the 200 Backstroke, touching the wall in 2:22.02!

For those unfamiliar with competitive swimming, earning a Futures cut means a swimmer has achieved one of the top qualifying standards in the country, earning the opportunity to compete at the USA Swimming Futures Championships against many of the nation's fastest swimmers. It's a significant milestone that reflects years of dedication, discipline, and hard work.

Way to represent the Mountain Home Bombers with pride!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 21, beginning at 9:30 a.m., Mountain Home Public Schools will partner with local emergency responders to conduct a simulated cardiac emergency response drill at Bomber Stadium.

This training is part of the Arkansas Activities Association's "Practice the Plan" initiative, which helps schools and first responders prepare for cardiac emergencies at athletic events.

During the exercise, you may notice emergency vehicles and personnel at the stadium. This is only a planned training exercise, and there is no emergency.

We appreciate our local first responders and community partners for helping us ensure our schools and athletic venues are as prepared as possible.

Go Bombers!

Mountain Home Junior High School student Annabelle "Belle" Williams has spent her summer representing both the Bombers and the State of Arkansas on the national stage.

In June, Belle earned a spot on the 14U Girls Team Arkansas National Wrestling Team after an outstanding performance at the state level. She traveled to Indiana to compete against some of the nation's top wrestlers.

In July, she traveled to Washington, D.C. with Mountain Home's NJROTC program, where she was selected to participate in the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier—an incredible honor.

Later this fall, Belle will receive the Iron Woman Award from Arkansas USA Wrestling for becoming a champion in all three wrestling styles: Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco-Roman.

Reflecting on wrestling for Team Arkansas, Belle said, "I was honored to represent Arkansas, but I'm also proud of the work it took to earn the opportunity."

About participating in the wreath-laying ceremony, she shared, "It was really a great experience. Every time I think about it, it makes me really happy I was able to experience that."

Congratulations, Belle!
