All Students wishing to attend prom are expected to maintain a minimum 95% attendance rate starting December 2, 2013 through April 11, 2014. We are only monitoring unexcused absences and unexcused partial absences.
Guten Tag! This spring Horizon High School will again be hosting exchange students from the Ruperti-Gymnasium in Muehldorf Germany. If you are interested in hosting one of the 26 super awesome exchange students, please see Mr. Herrman for more information.
Attention: If you have lost a cell phone, keys, jewelry or anything of value please see Mrs. Sweet in the Deans Office.
Check for other lost items in the Lost & Found in the Student Center. If you have not picked up your lost items by winter break they will be donated to a worthy cause.
Students: Start the new year off with a clean slate. The Library has approximately 650 overdue books. We would love to have these books returned before you leave for Winter Break on December 19th. We also invite you to check out some books to enjoy while you are on break. Have a great Holiday!
You can help brighten someones holiday by purchasing a gift for a child in need! All you have to do is take an ornament off the giving tree in the main lobby and attach the ornament to the unwrapped gift. All gifts need to be dropped off in the main office by Monday December 16th.
