After 21 years in Arkansas schools, Mary Beth Russell has been named the new principal of Mountain Home High School.
Russell moves into the position as current principal Brent Bogy transitions to a new role in the district. I have the advantage of coming into a building where there s nothing wrong with anything we re doing here, so all I get to do is step in and make it better, Russell said, noting her main goal for the next year is was just to bring kids back in the classroom.
Moving forward through COVID-19
The 2020-2021 academic year has been challenging for Arkansas schools as they navigated COVID-19 restrictions, quarantines and virtual offerings. Russell says moving forward, some of those changes may remain, even if they are modified.
