Principal’s Message
Horizon Middle School is a traditional public middle school, rich with culture and traditions that have been in place since the school opened in 1995. Horizon has been a model of excellence in the area of academics, sports, the arts, and parent & community involvement.
As we continue the second quarter of the school year, I want to take a moment to emphasize a critical factor in your child’s academic success: consistent school attendance.
Every day a student is present at school is a day filled with learning, growth, and connection. When students miss school—even just a few days here and there—it can disrupt their learning rhythm, making it harder to keep up with lessons, assignments, and classroom discussions. Research shows that students who attend school regularly are more likely to succeed academically and socially.
Here at Horizon, we are committed to creating a welcoming and engaging environment where every student feels valued and supported. But we need your partnership to ensure that your child is here to benefit from all that we offer.
Here’s how you can help:
- Set a regular bedtime and morning routine to make mornings smoother.
- Schedule appointments outside of school hours whenever possible.
- Communicate with us if your child is facing challenges that impact attendance—we’re here to help.
Let’s work together to make attendance a priority this quarter. Every day counts, and every student matters.
Outside the classroom, our students are showing up and showing out! From athletics to clubs, music, and student leadership, our Eagles are embracing opportunities to connect, lead, and shine. Their commitment to our PBIS pillars—Strive to do your best, Own your actions, Positive attitude, and Show respect—is evident in everything they do.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we’re building a strong foundation for success and helping every Eagle rise.
With Eagle pride,
Megan Gould
Principal, Horizon Middle School
