People often ask how they can help support our safety and security efforts. Here's one way!

We love to honor our Special Olympic Athletes, and we appreciate the Lady Bomber Volleyball Team for providing such a wonderful opportunity!

One last push for the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer EBT) program, which provides a $120 benefit per eligible child, the deadline to apply is Aug. 25, 2025 so there's still time to apply!

Our teachers and staff had the best professional development week last week (and Monday)! They were treated to fantastic meals, snacks, and gifts by various community partners. If we left anyone out, we deeply apologize. Please know how much our people appreciate being recognized by our local businesses and organizations.

Thanks to American Fidelity, Anstaff Bank, Regional Family Medicine, NEXT, Mountain Home PTO, Farmer’s and Merchant’s Bank, North Arkansas Dental Group, First Security Bank, Ashley Havens State Farm, Life 360, Arkansas State Teachers Association, Twin Lakes Orthopedic, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, North Arkansas Electric Cooperative, Women’s Wellness, ASC Warranty, Michael Clayton State Farm, Arvest Bank, Horn’s Lawn and Landscaping, Butler Furniture.

Our Safety & Security Coordinator Eddie Helmert wanted to remind families to be careful what information they disclose about their children in their annual back-to-school social media posts!

Mr. Helmert says the best bet is to leave out identifying information like last names, grades, ages, and classroom teacher names.

While it’s so much fun to see back-to-school photos online, we urge you to use discretion. Even if your social media is not open to the public, there are still ways for people with bad intentions to access this information after it is posted.

Have a safe and wonderful school year!

Open House: August 7, 2025 - 1-7 p.m. at all campuses!

They're BACKKKKK! Our annual district convocation was Monday! Having our entire staff together was wonderful, and the vibes were IMMACULATE! Huge thanks to our staff performers in the "What Type of Teacher Are You?" skit. We also want to thank NEXT and PTO for a wonderful fellowship breakfast and goodie bags, the MHEF for recognizing and awarding scholarships to three deserving AP scholars (this is a major accomplishment), and Arvest Bank for providing our entire staff with t-shirts again this year (one of our favorite traditions/gifts). We also appreciated Mrs. Audrey Plumlee (4th grade teacher at Hackler Intermediate) receiving the annual Butler Furniture Teacher Shopping Spree ($3,000 value)! What a special day to be a Bomber! We miss our students, and we can't wait to see them. We loved the student participation yesterday from the Bomber Band, Cheer and Dance Teams, NJROTC, Choir, and several others!
