Parent - Teacher Conferences
Thursday, October 19 - 5:00–8:00 PM – (THIS WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST.) Because we are hosting the district volleyball tournament, our gym area will be closed. This means that teachers will be in their rooms for visits, instead of in the gym and foyer. P.E. teachers will be in the library for this block of time. Maps showing the locations of classrooms will be available in the main office if needed.
Encore Company Presents
MHHS Encore Company will present Arthur Miller's The Crucible October 26-28 at 7pm in the MHHS Gym. Tickets will be sold at the door--$3 Students, $5 Adults, and the show is not recommended for children.
In the Puritan community of 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, a group of young girls is found dancing in the woods, and they immediately fall ill. When no earthly cause for their sickness can be determined, the citizens of Salem suspect a more sinister force may be at hand as long-held grudges turn to violent disputes, humiliating secrets are exposed, and the line between truth and pretense becomes increasingly blurry.
Based on historical events, this allegory from Arthur Miller examines the McCarthy era in American politics, warning against mass hysteria, urging freedom and tolerance as many well-known Americans were being blacklisted as communists. During the witch trials, spectral evidence was enough to sentence innocent people to death while belief in superstition fueled a climate of panic and suspicion, turning neighbor against neighbor, and casting doubts even on those of spotless reputation. Ultimately, nineteen people were found guilty and hanged based on the incredible testimony of young girls.
Miller’s play remains as relevant as ever, and this gripping drama of a community stirred into madness is a savage attack on the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, this powerful production is not to be missed!

UPDATE: MHHS Athletic Classification
The Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA) has taken the reclassification vote from September back to their Board of Directors for reconsideration after receiving input from the 3A schools impacted by the vote. At today’s vote the IHSAA Board voted 13-2 to keep Mountain Home in the 4A classification for the 2018-2019, 2019-2020 classification cycle. We will continue to pursue opportunities that give our students equity of competition with their peers. We are in the process of looking at the Impact to our students and programs should we possibly pursue a move to the Great Basin Conference which is also a 4A conference. This conference includes Twin Falls High School, Jerome High School, Canyon View High School, Wood River High School, Minico High School and Burley High School. If you have any questions or input please do not hesitate to email me at gilbert_jg@mtnhomesd.oirg or call me at (208)587-2580.
