Mountain Home Public Schools

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.

This is a highly-anticipated event every year to honor our veterans! https://mhobserver.com/mountain-home-high-school-to-host-veterans-day-ceremony-nov-11/

Thank you to our two amazing School Psychologists: Mrs. Baxter and Mr. O'Brien!

This week our 7th grade science students have been exploring gravity, Apollo 11, and the Moon to support literacy learning in preparation for American Graffiti Day and its 1960s theme. Yesterday they conducted a hands-on activity simulating lunar craters using rocks and flour. It was a messy but fantastic and engaging learning experience!

Today's Principal Appreciation post goes out to Mrs. Kristyn Goodwin! Did you know that Mrs. Goodwin has been at Hackler since DAY 1? She was a counselor for years at HIS before becoming a Dean of Students and eventually the building Principal! Mrs. Goodwin has so many fans at Hackler that a student even asked to "twin" with her during our most recent Homecoming spirit week! Hackler is lucky to have Mrs. Goodwin leading the charge each day!

Congratulations to this month's Students, Staff Member, and Teachers of the Month at MHPS! Thanks to Legacy Title Co. for sponsoring!

It’s been four weeks since we started our growing project in our Community-Based Instruction class, and our radishes, kale, beans, and carrots are doing fantastic! The kiddos have worked hard to keep everything healthy and growing — we’re so proud of their effort! 🌿💚

Congratulations!
