Mountainburg Boys & Girls Club

Happy Tuesday Dragon Family. 😊

PARENTS OF DRAGON FOOTBALL ATHLETES: Due to the incoming heat wave and the inability to practice during severe heat, summer football practices for junior and senior high athletes have been moved from 6:00PM to 7:00AM for the remainder of summer practices. Practices will end no later than 9:30AM. Parents, please have an arrangement for your athlete to be picked up. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but safety for our athletes is our primary concern.

Attention MHS students! MHS is offering a new program of study: Criminal Justice! This program of study will be taught by our very own Jayson Peppas. Students in this course of study will have the opportunity to work closely with local law enforcement partners, receive technical certificates, and graduate ready for many post-secondary opportunities. If you are in grades 9-12 and are interested in taking Introduction to Criminal Justice, email our counselor at jordan.bradley@mountainburg.org or call the office at 479-369-2146.
