When the bus says STOP, please stop. Every time. 🚌
Passing a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended puts children at serious risk—and it’s against Idaho law.
Please help us keep our students safe. A few extra seconds can protect a child.

🏗️ Summer Construction Update – Mt. Harrison High School
Exciting improvements are underway at Mt. Harrison High School as we continue investing in safer, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient learning spaces.
Current work includes:
✅ Rebuilding exterior walls
✅ Adding R-22 insulation to replace walls that previously had very little insulation
✅ Reframing and reducing window openings
✅ Installing new energy-efficient, double-pane Low-E windows to replace the original large single-pane windows
These upgrades will improve year-round comfort, increase energy efficiency, and help reduce heating and cooling costs while extending the life of the building.
Thank you for your patience as we complete these important improvements to better serve our students and staff!
