Mountain Home Education Foundation Purpose

The Mountain Home Education Foundation (MHEF) has been created to raise funds to enhance student education.  The MHEF was designed to support the educational programs for both students and staff of the Mountain Home Arkansas School District. The MHEF will provide funds for educational programs and activities which either have not been funded or have been underfunded by the normal operating budget. These funds will be used to facilitate student achievement and skill development, to recognize and encourage staff excellence and to expand community involvement from individuals, businesses, and civic organizations.

Kind Words from a Contributor

"...thank you for the work you do.

Both Brendan and I have always been proponents of education. Dr. Smith said it best tonight. We have all made it with help from others and we know the importance of giving back.

If I can ever be of assistance to you or the Mountain Home student community please don't hesitate to ask."

Kind regards,
Losurdo (Brian)

Mollie Morgan: "Encourages us all to work a little harder."
