Home of the Pride

Richard McKenna High School is an accredited, nontraditional public school in Mountain Home.

Our creative curriculum allows students to develop skills for the 21st century. The school’s philosophy is that learning is not just about gaining knowledge and acquiring facts —but about being able to do something with those facts.  Students not only learn basic academic skills such as English, Mathematics, and Science, but they also learn and practice key life skills such as resilience, reflection, and risk taking.

Our on campus program is patterned after the workplace and is a school of choice.   Here, education is our "job." We come to work each day to build an important product that must last through many future years. This is one of the most important jobs we shall ever have in our life; we take our work seriously and do it with pride.
