Mountain Home High School junior Timothy Scarborough took his artistic talents to the next level at the Plein Air Convention & Expo in Branson, Missouri!
Timothy earned a scholarship to attend PACE, where he had the opportunity to collaborate with around 80 professional artists through workshops, demonstrations, and interactive exercises. This experience allowed him to sharpen his artistic skills while gaining valuable insight into the professional art world.
As a special honor during the event, Timothy was invited on stage by Eric Rhoads, making his time at the convention even more memorable.
“My favorite part of this experience was getting to learn from and paint alongside professional artists at PACE,” Timothy said. “It really pushed me to grow and try new techniques in my own work.”
We're proud of the dedication you've shown to your craft, Timothy!

This Fourth of July, we’re proud to shine the spotlight on our outstanding Mountain Home NJROTC cadets.
This week, our cadets represented Mountain Home Public Schools and the state of Arkansas in Washington, D.C., as participants in the nation’s 250th Independence Day Celebration. While extreme heat forced today’s parade to be canceled, these students still had the incredible honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery—a solemn tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country.
Representing our community on such a historic occasion is an honor few students ever experience, and these cadets have done so with professionalism, respect, and pride.
We’re incredibly proud of our NJROTC program—one of the finest in the nation—and grateful to everyone who helped make this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity possible through their support and generosity.
Thank you for representing Mountain Home so well, and happy Independence Day from MHPS! 🇺🇸💙
What an incredible week at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas!
We are so proud of our Junior High FBLA students and all they have accomplished.
Congratulations to Allison Free, Harper Bounds, and Lindy Lueck for advancing to the final round of the Community Service Project competition! Their project, which focuses on supporting the mental health of students, has earned national recognition, and gave them the opportunity to compete in the final round today.
Best wishes to Alyssa Laxton and Chloe Wilson as they completed their competitive events in Exploring Professionalism and Exploring Accounting & Finance.
Beyond competition, our students have embraced every opportunity this conference has offered. They have networked with business professionals and FBLA members from across the country, traded pins with students from different states, explored the conference expo, and built friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
They've also had the opportunity to experience some of San Antonio's most iconic attractions, including walking along the beautiful River Walk and visiting the historic Alamo, making this trip both educational and unforgettable.
We can't wait for the awards ceremony and are so proud of how they have represented our school, community, and Arkansas on the national stage.
Safe travels as they begin the long journey back home to Mountain Home tomorrow!

Today we're proud to shine the spotlight on Mountain Home High School senior Sylas Moore!
Sylas has spent his summer putting in the work both on and off the field. He's dedicated countless hours in the gym preparing for his senior football season, determined to make it his best yet. Outside of athletics, Sylas works full-time at a local restaurant while also helping care for his younger brothers at home.
One of the biggest moments of Sylas's summer came during church camp, where he accepted Jesus into his life and was baptized—a milestone that reflects his character and commitment to his faith.
When asked what motivates him, Sylas shared a simple but powerful reminder: "Work hard even when no one is watching."
Congratulations, Sylas! Your dedication, work ethic, and leadership make you an outstanding example of what it means to be a Bomber.
