The Tiger Beat
Corrected/Updated September Newsletter
Dear Students and Families,
We are back in full swing at Mountain Home High School! Activities and athletics are officially underway, and the Class of 2027 is doing an awesome job representing our school. We have already had numerous successful activities, and we can feel the positive energy building across our school community!
Our Back-to-School Bash and Club Fair were both huge successes. We are incredibly grateful for all of our students and staff members who work behind the scenes and give their time and energy to make these events possible. These experiences are what make high school special!
We also held our grade-level assemblies on August 14th, giving our administrative team an opportunity to share our vision for the year and connect with students. We are especially excited to get to know our incoming 9th graders and all of our new students and help them feel like an important part of the Tiger family.
We strongly encourage every student to get involved! Joining a club, participating in athletics, performing in band or choir, or finding another activity that interests you can make the high school experience so much more meaningful and fun. If you aren’t sure what opportunities are available, ask a teacher or any staff member. We would love to help you find your place!
Go Tigers!
Mr. CottonPrincipal - MHHS
The BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Program supports motivated high school students to become active leaders and advocates for mental health on their campus and in their community. The BroncoBOLD program facilitates the formation and launch of our own student-led mental health initiative called MountainHomeBOLD.
As part of the program, MountainHomeBOLD will partner with coaches to designate one competition/game as a BOLD Mental Health Awareness Game. These games spotlight mental health awareness through visible symbols such as green ribbon patches, decals, cheer bows, and resource activities, which aim to engage students and fans. This shared approach helps unify the message across high schools and the university, creating one strong, student- and community-centered movement.
With this, our school's BOLD game nights are listed below. We will have packets to give to the coaches that contain coaches' mental health matters patches, green ribbon athlete uniform patches, and green ribbon helmet sticker decals (football only). There are instructions on the packet for how to stick the patches on and where they need to go. These games are a mandatory portion of the BroncoBOLD program, so we have to do this and really need your help making sure the patches are on the jerseys for the game. I will use the rosters Sarah DeVore has sent out to make sure you have enough ribbons. If there are any changes to those, please let me know ASAP. Please let me know if you'd like me to leave these packets in your box in the teacher's lounge or if you want me to keep them in my office until closer to your game night.
Fall Sports BOLD Game Nights TBA:
At the games, we will have a MountainHomeBOLD table set up with resources, some activities, etc., relating to mental health. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
YOU ARE MORE means unifying as a school community to protect the overall mental health of you and every individual in our schools. Unfortunately there may be times where you feel alone fighting an internal battle that others do not see. You are not alone! Do not attempt to crawl out of the darkness by yourself or rely on simple willpower. Instead, seek out others to help find the strength needed to overcome struggles. Because when it comes down to it, YOU ARE MORE important than you realize!
