Today, we celebrate not only the birth of our nation, but a historic milestone—America's 250th Birthday! For 250 years, our country has been built on the ideals of freedom, courage, opportunity, and service.
As we gather with family and friends this Fourth of July, we are grateful for those who have sacrificed to protect our freedoms and for the communities that continue to make America strong.
From all of us at Heber Springs Schools, we wish our students, families, staff, alumni, and the entire Panther Nation a safe, joyful, and patriotic Independence Day.
Happy 250th Birthday, America! 🇺🇸🎆
Go Panthers! 🐾❤️ #America250 #FourthOfJuly #PantherNation #HeberSpringsSchools

From Your Heber Springs School Nurses
As we begin the month of March, we are experiencing a late flu season while seasonal allergies are also increasing across our community.
We encourage everyone to remain vigilant during this time. If you or your student struggle with seasonal allergies, please stay consistent with prescribed allergy medications. Managing symptoms early can help prevent complications and help students feel their best each day.
We also want to remind everyone of the importance of simple prevention habits:
Wash hands frequently with soap and water
Cover coughs and sneezes
Stay home if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms
Avoid sharing personal water bottles or drinks
These small but important steps help protect not only your family, but our entire Greater Panther Family.
The health and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our schools healthy and strong.
