Yesterday, Seniors had the chance to attend a College Fair hosted on the University of the Ozarks campus. Students visited with colleges from all over the state to learn about the programs available at their universities. This was a great event that hopefully provided clarity for our seniors about their future.

Middle School Book Tasting! 📚❤️ Our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders got to spend the day exploring new books, trying out different genres, and discovering stories they might not have picked up on their own! Students had the chance to “taste” a variety of books, share their thoughts, and see what caught their interest. The goal was to encourage them to step outside of their usual reading choices and hopefully find a few new books to add to their reading lists! A huge thank-you to the community sponsors who helped make our Book Tasting possible: - 4 Paws: Monetary Donation - Candy Craze: Goodie Bags - Workman’s: Snacks & Drinks - Neon Moon: Lollipops And a special thank-you to those who chose to donate anonymously. Your generosity helped make this day extra special for our students! We are so thankful for a community that continues to support our students and helps us create fun, meaningful experiences around reading. This Book Tasting wouldn’t have been possible without you!

Students spent time today practicing archery for the upcoming AGFC Generation Conservation Summit  Regional Competition held in Springdale this October. MHS students will be competing in several other competitions along as well such as air rifles, nature center exhibit designs, quiz bowl, wildlife and fish ID, plus more!

Celebrating Progress in Mountainburg!

The Arkansas Department of Education has released the latest school letter grades, and we are proud to recognize the progress being made across the Mountainburg School District!

Mountainburg Elementary School: C ➡️ B
Mountainburg Middle School: D ➡️ C
Mountainburg High School: C
Mountainburg School District: C

These results represent the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our administrators, teachers, staff, students, and families. Moving from a C to a B at MES and from a D to a C at MMSl is something worth celebrating!

At the same time, we know that a letter grade is only one measure of a school community. There is always room to learn, grow, improve, and strive for more. The progress we see today is a reminder of what can happen when we continue working together with a shared commitment to our students.

Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to these accomplishments! Your hard work matters, and we are excited to see what the future holds. There is nowhere to go but UP!

Let’s keep encouraging one another, supporting our schools, and building on this progress. Go Dragons! 🐉
