Mountain Home High School

Mountain Home Parks & Rec has some fantastic opportunities coming up!

Our Outdoor Learning courses received a generous donation of $12,700 from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission on Saturday night at the organization's Night of Conservation in Mountain Home. Thank you so much to the Commission for your continued support of our programming and our kids!

Reminder for Families: On March 20, our Board of Education approved a calendar amendment that made May 23 a full day of school. This adjustment was made to add back a few hours to our calendar due to an early dismissal in January. Here's a link to the updated calendar showing May 23 as a full school day! https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/2418/mhsd/4386037/2024-2025_School_Calendar_board_approved_2.15.24.pdf

Last week, two groups of sophomores stopped by NWH to earn some community service hours. The students helped sort through games and materials in the old Parent Center to help make room for a new STEM/Makerspace Lab. Miss Rayburn, the K-2 GATE teacher, cannot say enough how thankful she is for the great work done in only two hours by these hardworking students! Thanks for giving back to our little Bombers!

Check this out! Zane finished first and Finley finished third in the individual testing for the AR Personal Finance Challenge! Now the team will represent Arkansas in Atlanta in June. Way to go, kids! And big thanks to their sponsor, Mr. Caststeel!

Academy Reps came to Pinkston and presented on the different academies at the high school, explained the career options in each, and presented on the organizations students can join. As always, Pinkston students enjoyed getting to meet the reps and appreciated all the information they presented.

AP Language Food Truck Rhetoric Challenge! Mrs. Drewry’s AP English Language students took their rhetorical analysis skills to the next level with an exciting Food Truck Project! After diving deep into MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail and analyzing his powerful rhetorical choices, students put their persuasion skills to the test—this time with food! Each of the 23 groups crafted a food truck concept complete with a name, slogan, menu, and one delicious sample item for the judges to taste. From ethos-infused entrees to pathos-packed presentations, these students served up both flavor and rhetoric in an unforgettable way!
