Cheerleader of the week for MHS cheer is Emma Yount! Emma is a dedicated cheerleader who continues to bring that Dragon spirit each week to the sideline with her energy and skill! She is supportive and encouraging to her teammates and is focused on the job of cheer- to rally and cheer on our teams! Emma is so fun to watch on the competition mat with the best facials to lead the crowd and picks up and executes choreography with ease! Go Emma and Go Dragons! Thank you to our weekly partner- Pizza Den!
* On a sidenote- Coach Hecox got behind posting and is catching up- oops!
Have an awesome day Dragons!

Honoring Our Heroes – 2025 Veterans Day Video
This year’s Veterans Day video will spotlight nearly 100 Mountainburg High School graduates who have proudly served in the United States military. This special project has been made possible through the design and development of the Military Tributes on the Wall of Honor — a lasting way to recognize the service and sacrifice of our MHS alumni.
If you know an MHS graduate who has served, we would love to include them in our Veterans Day tribute and they will be placed in the Military Tributes on the Wall of Honor.
You can view the tributes from the Wall of Honor here: https://wofproduction.blob.core.windows.net/embed/77d3afdab93d44cfaab7cb31f20f7072/walloffame.html
Please send a photo to Misty Christian at misty.christian@mountainburg.org. Submissions must be made on or before November 7 to be included in the video. Mrs. Christian is always taking submissions for the Wall of Honor.
Be sure to include: Full name, Graduation year, Branch of military served
**If you have already submitted a photo for the Wall of Honor, your loved one will automatically be included in this year’s Veterans Day video.**
Let’s come together to honor and remember our Dragon veterans who have served our nation with pride and courage!

Quick Note from Your Communications Director
Over the past 8 years, I’ve seen Mountainburg Public Schools’ communication efforts grow tremendously — and I couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come! We’ve worked hard to make sure parents and families stay well-informed — not only about your child’s academics, but also about all the great things happening across our district.
That’s why I want to take a moment to stress how important it is for parents to read the communication that comes from the school. We know life gets busy, but those messages, updates, and newsletters are sent with purpose — to keep you connected, informed, and involved.
Every Sunday at 6:00 PM, we send out our weekly Smore newsletter — filled with upcoming events, announcements, and highlights. It’s shared through:
Facebook
The LiveFeed on our website
Text and email
The DragonsLink App
The district is also utilizing ParentSquare which is another fantastic tool for two-way communication between parents and teachers.
Throughout the week, communication may go out for various reasons to all students and staff or may be just to specific grade levels, groups, or classes.
We want every parent to feel “in the know” — because communication between school and home truly makes a difference for our students. Thank you for taking the time to stay connected and for being such a vital part of the Mountainburg family.

This week, 8th graders were invited to the iCan Career Expo hosted at Peak Innovation Center in Fort Smith. Students had a blast exploring a variety of career pathways and were able to connect with local employers and organizations. The expo is designed to spark curiosity in students through hands-on activities, interactive demonstrations, and opportunities to see equipment and tools used in real careers.
Thank You from Mountainburg Schools!
A huge thank you to the All Class Reunion Committee and to everyone who generously donated at the reunion on Saturday, October 4. Your contributions have helped kickstart our efforts toward purchasing a digital marquee for Mountainburg Schools. Dr. Reeves is pictured with Linda Downs from the committee accepting a generous donation to put toward this project. The new marquee will be in the area where the current marquee is in front of the high school.
A digital marquee will serve as a dynamic way to keep our students, families, and community informed — displaying announcements, event reminders, student achievements, and important updates in real time. It’s an exciting step toward improving communication and school pride throughout Dragon Nation!
The process has been started with getting quotes from companies for this project. When a rendering of what the finished project will look like, it will be shared on social media and the LiveFeed on the district website.
We are currently working on setting up an online donation option for anyone who would like to contribute to this project. A separate post will be done when this is set up to provide the information to donate online. In the meantime, checks can be mailed to or dropped off at the Administration Building. He is also looking into grants and contacting businesses to partner with us on this project.
This is a great way for Dragon Alumni to be a part of something that will benefit our school and community for many years.
Thank you again for your continued support of Mountainburg Schools and our students — together, we’re building a brighter (and more visible!) future!
Checks can be mailed or dropped off at:
Mountainburg Schools
ATTN: DIGITAL MARQUEE
129 Hwy 71 SW
Mountainburg, AR 72946
If you have any questions about the digital marquee, please contact Dr. Reeves, Interim Superintendent - jason.reeves@mountainburg.org.

We love our community partners! Mountainburg Cheer recently held our Little Dragon Cheer Clinic with 40 youth participants! The tshirts were sponsored by Hubbs & Whitehead, CPAs & Advisors, and snacks were donated by the Ozark Valley Regional Food Bank! Rockhouse Designs printed our tshirts and had our littles looking great for their performance! MHS Cheer loves to work with our little Dragons, and these community partners helped make that happen! Thank You!
Have a great day everyone! 😊
