Please take the time to complete the following survey. Your input is valuable to us.
We have never before had to prepare for a school year like the upcoming Fall 2020 Semester.
There are still so many unanswered questions for parents, students, and school personnel.
The Mena School District is asking you to consider the following statements in each category and check all of them that apply to your situation.
Your choices for your student and shared concerns are important to us.
Your feedback will assist us to make important decisions about the upcoming 1st semester of the 2020-2021 school year.
With your input our goal is to continue to strive to best meet the needs of our students and their families while still remaining in compliance with all the state agency guidelines and restrictions.
We will offer you similar choices again in preparation for the 2nd semester of the 2020-2021 school year.
Please complete one survey per household. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your input.

Subiaco Academy has recently decided to drop to "8 Man Football" which removes them from our conference. This left us a hole in our Senior High Schedule.
We are excited to announce that we will now play Booneville week 3 of the 2020 season and have a bye during week 9. We will go to Booneville in 2020 and they will come to Mena in 2021. It will be a great series!
The Bearcat Foundation continues to pursue our goals of partnering with MHS with assistance in areas of equipment, facilities and supplies. Thanks, to our members and supporters, BFI has gifted over $435,000 to Mena High Since 2007.
A very important part of our mission is to provide a scholarship for students at Mena High and today we are happy to present the BFI scholarship for the 9th year.
The Foundation scholarship differs from others in that it is scored and judged on a blind basis. All applicant’s names, family names, and commonly identifiable accomplishments are omitted from the application once received in an effort to eliminate any possible bias in the scoring process.
The applicants are scored based on academic achievement, community involvement, extracurricular achievement and the compelling nature of the essay that is written for the scholarship.
The committee is anonymous and does not consist of any foundation board members. All scoring is done separately by each member of the committee. The scholarship is $2,000 per student.
It is my honor and the honor of every member and supporter to announce that the winners of the Bearcat Foundation Scholarship for 2020 are Mr. David Grenier and Mr. Marc Wilson.
The Mena School District is accepting applications for many positions at this time. Follow the link to our website for more information..
