At Yerger Middle School, student safety is always our top priority.

Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, August 28, 2025, we’ll be adding a new tool at our entrances called OpenGate: a walk-through system designed to help us keep our campus safe and welcoming.

It’s quick, easy, and feels just like walking through a regular doorway. Staff will be on hand to make sure the process is smooth and comfortable for everyone.

We appreciate your support as we take this step to protect our kids and ensure Yerger remains a safe place to learn and grow.

The "E" in STEAM stands for engineering. At Yerger Middle School, Mr. Molloy is getting his Flight & Space class and his Robotics class to start thinking like engineers through a classic lab! Students were tasked with building the tallest tower (or bridge) possible with pasta and marshmallows. What a wonderful way to start working on their problem-solving skills!

some students were asked to make a bridge instead.

not all the towers were very tall but some were very strong

When school buses stop, lives are on the line. Please remember: if the red lights are flashing, you must stop. A child’s life depends on it. Together, we can keep our students safe this school year. 🚸🚌

She also shared valuable insights on interview strategies with the new Cohorts 9 and 10! 🌟

👏 A big congratulations also goes out to Mr. Michael Herron, who was recently selected as the newest Arkansas IMPACT member for Hope School District!

We are grateful for the leadership, dedication, and excellence that both Ms. Gray and Mr. Herron bring to our students and schools. 💙❤️ #HopePublicSchools #WeEmpower
