The week of February 5 - 9 was our 2024 Dragon Basketball Homecoming at MHS. On Tuesday, February 6, Warren Watkins and Bryley Thomas were crowned 2024 King and Queen.

Congratulations to Roger Atwell for being chosen as the 2024 Coming Home King.

School Choice is the program authorized by the Arkansas General Assembly in The Public School Choice Act of 2015, which allows parents to apply for their child’s admission to participating school districts other than the one in which they reside. The Mountainburg Public School District will accept eligible students from other school districts under the School Choice program during the 2024-25 school year.
