AdvancED Surveys: Help Make Our School Even Better
Last spring you were asked to complete a survey regarding Mars Hill Bible School. We are conducting the same survey again to see if we have gained improvement or still need improvement in specific areas. The survey results are used as part of our accreditation process. Even if you completed a survey last spring, we ask that you take the time to complete another one. Your answers are completely confidential and help us make our school even better.

Pannell Featured in New Book
Local author Bill Norvell has released his new book, Inspiration From Anytown, USA. Norvell chose 30 Florence residents, 15 women and 15 men, and wrote about events in their lives. Norvell writes that "the purpose (of the book) is to inspire, encourage, and help others through the shared life experiences of these individuals."
One of the 30 people chosen is Mars Hill Bible School teacher, coach and radio announcer, Ronnie Pannell. Pannell has been the "Voice of the Panthers" since 1989. He continues to be a classroom teacher and his coaching duties are football and golf. Pannell says that being included in the book " has been overwhelming and I'm proud to be associated with the wonderful people in the book, especially Bill Norvell."
The book is on sale in Florence at the Mars Hill Bookstore, Printers and Stationers, Inc (PSI) and the Off Campus Bookstore at UNA.
There will be another book signing opportunity during the "First Friday" event on November 6th in front of PSI downtown Florence from 4:00 to 7:00.
Safety First: Harassment/Bullying Policy
To that end, we have created two avenues for students to report harassment or bullying. "No Bully Stands Alone" will be enforced, and students must report incidents of harassment and bullying to a teacher or an administrator. Students may report bullying via voice mailbox (256-718-8523) and email (bully@mhbs.org). Please see the Student Handbook for a complete explanation of the harassment and bullying policies.
10/15 Update from Mr. Rutherford: PLEASE KNOW THAT WE TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY THE TRUST YOU PLACE IN US TO HELP MOLD YOUR CHILDREN. EVERY EFFORT IS MADE TO PROVIDE THE BEST CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE AT MHBS. RAISING CHILDREN IN TODAY’S WORLD IS ARGUABLY MORE CHALLENGING THAN EVER.
Technology is such a wonderful tool. However, with it come more opportunities for satan to creep into our children’s lives… bullying, sexting, and even adult predators are becoming all to common. WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please monitor your child’s electronic devices closely. Contact the school immediately if we can help. If you do not wish to be identified, feel free to use the bullying hotline bullybully@mhbs.org or 256-718-8523.
