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! 💙✈️
Stop by and connect with members of your MHPS Board of Education on Open House night (August 6th)!
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! 💙💛

After four weeks of intense Regional competition at the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation Shooting Sports Complex in Jacksonville, the Mountain Home Junior Trap Team capped off an outstanding season with a 3rd place finish at the state tournament.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Youth Shooting Sports program hosted 64 junior and 64 senior teams, all vying for state championships, as well as individual shooters competing for the coveted Champion of Champions title. The junior teams competed on Friday, May 29th, in a 64-team single-elimination bracket, where each matchup required squads to shoot 125 clays.
Mountain Home’s junior squad—Benson Hopper, Case Hardin, Luke Hopper, Wyatt Bourg, and Austin Still—faced six challenging matches. They defeated Cossatot River FFA, Batesville Pioneers, Bald Knob, and Westside Red before a narrow loss to Jonesboro Grey in the semi-finals by a single target, 112–111. The team rebounded to claim 3rd place with a 116–111 victory over Smackover.
In addition to team success, seven junior shooters advanced to the Champion of Champions shoot-off after scoring perfect 25-for-25 in regional competition. Mountain Home’s Case Hardin joined Gauge Kuhn (Bald Knob White), Joshua Henry Semmler (Dierks 1), Chandler Waldrup (Westside Red 4), Libby Camp (Lonoke Jackrabbits), Parker Reese (Marmaduke Hounds Gray), and Sebastian Sifuentes (Jonesboro Blue) in the showdown. After 11 head-to-head stands, Case Hardin earned 2nd place in the Champion of Champions shoot-off.
This performance highlights the skill, focus, and teamwork of Mountain Home’s junior shooters, cementing their reputation as one of the state’s top trap teams.
Bridges of Mountain Home Schools recently received funding to help provide healthy snacks for students, supporting the well-being of children across our district.
In addition, Pinkston Middle School was awarded a grant to help create new opportunities and support student learning at the middle school level.
Thank you to the Twin Lakes Community Foundation for believing in our students, supporting our staff, and helping make a difference for Bomber families each and every day.
A special thank you to Legacy Title Company for generously sponsoring both our monthly and yearly awards throughout the 2025–2026 school year. Your continued support and commitment to recognizing excellence in our schools means so much to our students and staff. We are incredibly grateful for community partners like you!
Thank you for another incredible year at MHPS — we can’t wait to welcome our students back on August 11. Go Bombers! 💙
