Haas Hall Academy (HHA) is an award-winning, college preparatory, public secondary school of choice, serving scholars at four Northwest Arkansas campuses (Bentonville, Fayetteville, Rogers and Springdale) and one in the River Valley at Fort Smith.

HHA's mission is to provide an aggressive, encouraging and supportive alternative to the traditional learning environment for scholars with a high intensity of purpose; helping them to succeed at prestigious institutions of higher education across the country and around the world; and to ultimately become leaders in their communities and pillars of society.

From humble beginnings with less than 20 scholars in the Fall of 2004 to over 1,200 learning in/from multiple counties today (our 22nd year), HHA has evolved to become Arkansas's top performing school academically for over 14 years running.

HHA is ranked #1 locally and statewide, and has been recognized as the #4 charter school and the #7 high school overall nationally by U.S. News & World Report (August 2025). HHA earned the highest AP Honor Roll Status of Platinum, placing it among the Top 1% of America's most challenging schools.

In September, the Arkansas Department of Education announced school letter grades, with all five HHA campuses receiving an "A." National Merit Scholarship Program Semi-Finalists for 2026 were also named, with 19 (13.2% of all Arkansans) being Academy scholars. 

HHA campuses received OEP Awards for Top 5 Regional and Top 10 Statewide Performance in October, and NICHE selected our Faculty as the #1 Public School Teachers in Arkansas.

While these accomplishments are wonderful to recognize, celebrate and build upon, they simply would not be possible without the philanthropy - "love of humanity" - from caring, generous and sharing people like you, who support HHA with their time, talent and resources.

Those who understand and value the importance of equal opportunity and access to high-quality tuition-free education for everyone. As HHA receives significantly less funding than traditional public schools, your tax-deductible gifts are essential to helping us offset the difference.

During the 2023-2024 academic year (most recent data), per pupil expenditures at HHA were up to 29.5% less than other area public school districts, 20.5% less than the state average and 56.2% less than the national average. This disparity makes HHA the most effective and efficient secondary school in Arkansas, and perhaps the country. 

The positive outcomes of your charitable gifts to HHA not only result in the state's highest attendance, graduation and matriculation rates; college readiness and performance indicator rankings (achievement, growth and quality/student success); and test scores, but also in much needed assistance and scholarships for extracurricular activities and nonacademic experiences.

HHA's unique STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics) education program focuses on developing well-rounded individuals by encouraging innovative ways of thinking, learning and demonstrating knowledge gained, at one's own pace.

Although HHA is tuition-free, at times scholars may find themselves in need of personal/private help. To encourage, support and sustain their success, with the help of our community, anonymous grants are offered internally for a variety of assistance opportunities.

The above includes: application, testing and tutoring fees; arts and humanities study; athletics, clubs and other activities; attire/uniforms, nutrition and wellness; communications and internet access; and school security, technology and transportation.

All gifts are welcome, meaningful and appreciated, and truly have positive impacts on our collective efforts and futures. Charitable investments in HHA - for our people, places and purpose - generate excellent returns, that are never ending, as alumni, scholars and generations to come pay it forward.
