While the Mountain Home Education Foundation was unable to host its annual Hall of Honor induction ceremony last fall due to COVID-19, the Foundation’s Board of Directors did induct two retired Mountain Home Public Schools employees into the 2020 Hall of Honor. The 2020 Retired Educator Honoree is Billie Larson, who taught fourth grade in the district for thirty years. The 2020 Earnest Perry Retired Staff Honoree is Kathy Farris, a longtime cook and cafeteria manager at Mountain Home High School.

The Mountain Home Education Foundation Board of Directors wishes to express its deepest condolences to the family of Mrs. Bonnie Brown. Bonnie was instrumental in forming the MHEF, served as our Board's first president, and impacted the lives of so many area young people through her work.

Our whole community will miss Bonnie, and we are blessed to have benefitted from her kindness, generosity, and determination.

Check out our new promotional magazine:

“Receiving this scholarship has allowed me to allocate my time and resources toward pursuing my interests (such as band and classes) rather than worrying about how I'm going to afford my school expenses. This scholarship has made my dream of attending The Ohio State University much more attainable. I am extremely thankful for MHEF supporting me in earning my degree and making my dreams come true.”
