The RMASS “Zapping the SAT” prep seminar will be coming to Horizon on Wednesday, March 15th & Thursday, March 16st. 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 SAT Test coming in April. For any questions on this SAT Prep opportunity – see Mrs. Neumann in the counseling office.

"Have you always wanted to take on a huge leadership role? Well four seniors are looking to pass on the responsibility of the Umbrella Project, an education-based program that helps eliminate offensive language including racial and derogatory terms used in our hallways. Now that it is part of the health curriculum here at Horizon, they are looking for more qualified students to run it next year. If you are interested, come to the main office and pick up an application, due by the 6th of March!
