Homecoming may be a few weeks behind us, but the memories are too good not to share!

We shared the pictures, but now it's time to relive some of the action. From dodgeball battles and fun activities to performances by our band and dance team, updates on activity achievements, and the crowning of our 2026 Homecoming King and Queen, it was a celebration full of school spirit, excitement, and Golden Hawk pride.

Here's one more look back at some of the moments that made Homecoming 2026 so memorable!

This week’s MPHS Staff Shout Out goes to Emma Kossley, English teacher!

Emma has done a fantastic job building relationships and making meaningful connections with her students. Although she is new to Mid-Prairie, she works hard every day to meet students where they are, challenge them to grow, and connect the curriculum to their individual strengths and interests.

Recently, Emma’s English 9 students have been reading Animal Farm. She has created lessons that are interactive, engaging, fun, and rigorous, helping students deepen their understanding while making learning meaningful.

We are so happy to have Emma as part of our MP family! If you see Emma, be sure to thank her for the time, energy, and dedication she puts into helping our students succeed! Go Hawks!
