Announcements

Horizon High School has once again implemented an attendance policy for all students going to prom. However, grades 9 &10 must be invited to prom by an upper classman to be able to attend prom.  Students wishing to attend prom are expected to maintain a minimum 95% attendance rate starting October 19, 2015 through April 21, 2016.  We are only monitoring unexcused absences and unexcused partial absences. 
Please make sure you call the Attendance line at 720-972-4597 to excuse your students.

Students, April 22nd is Prom. You must have your 2015/2016 Horizon ID to be admitted to Prom or AfterProm.  If you have lost your ID, you must request a replacement from Mrs. Cummings in Counseling.  There will be a $5 charge for each replacement ID.  Deadline to request a replacement ID for Prom is April 20th.  Don’t miss out!

Students who plan on bringing a guest to prom that does not go to Horizon High School must have a guest pass filled out and signed by a Dean.  Guest passes are available in the Dean's office

Student & Staff Basketball game to be determined.  It’s free to play and the sign-up sheet is in the Main Office. All players report to the big gym by 1:30 on that day for warm-ups.  Be the first to sign up.

Attention Horizon Hawks,
National Honor Society is hosting Horizon's first ever Ping Pong Tournament for the American Heart Association on March 30th in the loft here at school! Registration will be from March 17th-March 25th! Come pick up your forms in the main office and bring them to the student center along with a registration fee of $5 during Periods 4-7. There will be both a Singles and Doubles bracket, so grab your friends and join NHS to help raise money and awareness for the #1 leading cause of death in the United States; Heart Disease!

Starting the week of March 27th help out your fellow Hawks with their Big Idea Projects by bringing in lightly used or new stuffed animals for a local foster care home and elementary aged books for McElwain Elementary School.  Think about all the sad stuffed animals and old books just sitting on your shelf, and now think of a child smiling brightly, a smile that you caused because of your donation.  Donation bins will be found in the front lobby the entire week of March 27th.

Counseling

ATTENTION JUNIORS
The RMASS “Zapping the ACT” prep seminar will be coming to Horizon on March 30th & 31st.  For an opportunity to participate in this awesome two-day after school seminar, you must see Mrs. Bell or Mrs. Neumann in the counseling office to sign up for a spot.  The cost of this two-day seminar is usually $89 – but Dr. Shadwell will be paying $50 of the $89 for the first 100 students who sign up – so it will cost you only $39.  Don’t pass up this great opportunity to get “prepped” for the ACT Test coming in April. Sign up for the seminar in Counseling.
