A lunar eclipse will be visible for people in Arkansas and Oklahoma on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024.
The partial eclipse will coincide with a full moon and a supermoon, which occurs when the moon is closest to Earth.
Best Time To Watch
The eclipse will begin at 7:41 p.m. Central Time, but it will be difficult to notice until the Earth's shadow starts to cover the top edge of the moon at 9:13 p.m.
The eclipse will peak at 9:44 p.m.
There could be clouds in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, but conditions will likely be clear enough to see the eclipse.
The moon will finish exiting the full shadow at 10:16 p.m. and the partial shadow at 11:47 p.m.
What Is A Lunar Eclipse?
A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes into the Earth's shadow. This means that relatively little of the sun's light makes it to the moon.
The sunlight that does make it to the lunar surface has passed through the Earth's atmosphere. This light is at a longer, redder wavelength, making the moon appear red.
"It's as if all the world's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the moon," according to NASA.

SPIRIT WEEK for Hope Public Schools Homecoming is September 30 - October 4 with Homecoming taking place on Friday, October 4. We apologize for any confusion regarding spirit week activities. Thanks!
As the home football season continues, we want to remind everyone about student expectations. We encourage our students to show school spirit and support our team, but it’s important that they adhere to home game expectations:
⚫️ Students are not to loiter behind the bleachers. Our students are expected to remain seated in the stands during the game, except when going to the restroom or visiting the concession stand.
🔴Students cannot sit on the top three rows of the stands unless sitting with a parent.
⚪️All after school activities are schools functions therefore our students are to follow handbook expectations. Any student that does not follow expectations may be asked to leave the game and will be addressed the following school day.
We appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child to ensure a fun and safe environment for everyone.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Go Bobcats!!

Hope Public Schools is excited to begin a new partnership with Arkansas Rehabilitation Services to provide Pre-Employment Transition Services to a select group of students at Hope High School. To take advantage of this opportunity, students must be in grades 10-12 and identified as a student with special needs or a 504 student.
The Work-Based Learning Opportunities Leading to Future Employment (WOLF) will allow students to earn minimum wage while receiving hands-on learning opportunities and skills based training. Students will experience real-world employment tasks and situational learning opportunities. Our WOLF program will be held in conjunction with our already established Bobcats that Work Program.
Mr. John Byers from Arkansas Rehabilitation Services will be at Hope High School on September 13, 2024 and September 17, 2024 from 9:00-2:00 to assist parents with the application process and to answer any questions regarding current and future benefits.
Please sign the attached document indicating your level of interest in this program. Please respond by September 20, 2024. Thank you.
There will be a Patriot Day ceremony at the flagpole at Hope High School at 12pm today, September 11. The public is invited.
