We are thrilled to announce that Mountain Home Christian Academy is now fully accredited through Cognia, recognized by NCA CASI, NWAC, and SACS CASI—three of the most respected accreditation agencies in the world!
This is a huge milestone for our school, and we are incredibly thankful for Debbie Atkinson, who led the charge with grace and diligence, and for all our staff members who all played a vital role in this accomplishment.
Accreditation affirms the excellence of our academic programs, strengthens our reputation, and opens up new opportunities for our students. This is a moment of celebration for all of us—thank you for being part of the MHCA mission!
Hello school family,
Mrs. Forrest is working on closing out the prior school year in FACTS. During the next week, she will be updating and inputting tuition amounts for the next school year and making sure each family who is EFA approved is set up on quarterly payments. Please note you will see the full tuition amount in FACTS each quarter. The EFA funding will not be posted until it is received by the school each quarter. The first due date for tuition payment is September 15th for quarterly payers. EFA families can expect to receive $1716 towards tuition per quarter. You are responsible for the remaining amount, unless your student has been approved for the ACE scholarship. Although your remaining balance is due by Sept. 15th, you are welcome to pay your portion anytime before the due date through FACTS, even breaking it up into multiple payments. However, you will not be prompted to do that since your payment plan is set to quarterly.
If you are a family with only a pre-school student enrolled, you may be set to monthly payments if you selected that at enrollment. If so, your first payment will be Aug. 1 or 5 (depending on what you selected). If you have questions or need help with the financial settings on your FACTS account, reach out to Mrs. Forrest at 870-424-6622.
Remember, you can access financial information as well as student grades, etc in the FACTS family portal. Go to factsmgt.com, click on family portal, and use your FACTS credentials. Our school code is mh-ar.
Today is the last day to get your order in for school uniforms. If you are an enrolled student, your family received a code to offset the cost of uniforms. The portal will close tonight and the order will be made. If you missed the chance to order this time, the portal will be reopened at a later date to get the orders of new students who have enrolled.

Some of our students have just returned from Piedras Negras, MX and served in many capacities at the Christian school there. Here's a few snapshots of some of them judging the spelling bee in English!
We are excited that our new uniform portal is now live, and with it comes a fresh and unified look for our students at Mountain Home Christian Academy! This marks a significant step forward as we transition from simply looking similar to truly wearing a consistent school uniform that reflects the values of Mountain Home Christian Academy: Magnifying Christ, Humility, Character, and Academic Achievement.
After having a number of our students look at the items and getting their input, we were able to select items for the portal that they liked and that meet our school dress code. To make sure that we have consistent school uniforms, only items purchased through the uniform portal will be approved for daily wear. This includes tops, bottoms, outerwear—everything! Items from previous years or similar-looking alternatives will no longer be accepted. This change will help eliminate confusion and ensure our students consistently present themselves with the same high standard that we aim to uphold in all areas of school life.
On a recent mission trip to Guatemala, I was able to see students from several schools where students proudly wore true uniforms. In a country where 60% of the population is below the poverty line, the visual impact was striking—the unity, the neatness, and the sense of identity it gave those students was undeniable. It made me even more excited for what this will mean for MHCA as we raise the bar not just academically or spiritually, but in how we represent ourselves daily.
We believe this move will help us better reflect who we are: a school that Educates minds, shepherds hearts, and graduates Disciples. Thank you for your support as we move forward with this exciting new standard.
P.S. from Mrs. Peglar: What can we do with our old polos with the MHCA logo on them?
If you have a preschool student, they can still wear the previous uniform/dress code and shop /exhcange polos in our closet in the Early Education building.
If your student is above preschool age, you can bring your polos to "Get the Scoop" on Aug. 1 and drop them in our 'drop box". We plan to find an organization in need that could utilize those polos.
In Christ,
Doyne Byrd
Reminder to parents: The Brockwell Gospel Music school starts next week. Below is a link to register your student if interested. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BTthdspWA/?mibextid=wwXIfr

My 3 who want to stay with me. Finishing the year chillin' on the big comfortable couch
First through third grade, enjoying our last field trip. Thank you, Little T's for allowing us to come and enjoy the day with you. What an amazing Christian atmosphere to have our children visit.
A few priceless moments. Mr.T and his last signing. Mrs. Peglar is getting comfortable as she signs, and Mr. Byrd with his gentle words talking with a student as he signs her yearbook.
