As we are closing out quarter 2, I want to thank everyone for a great first half of the year. Our students are showing growth both academically and behaviorally. We are excited about the progress made so far this school year, and we are looking forward to what we will accomplish in the 2nd semester.

We hope you and your family enjoy this well-deserved break.

Happy Holidays from the Horizon Family!
