Vision: Horizon Middle School is committed to preparing all students to be college and career ready.

Mission: Horizon Middle School strives to support all students by helping them grow and develop their critical thinking, their confidence, and their creativity

We have a very busy last few months of school!

With so much happening, it is more important than ever for students to remain focused, consistent, and prepared for learning each day. Your support at home makes a tremendous difference in helping students finish the year strong.

Please help us by encouraging your child to:

We are incredibly proud of the hard work our students have shown so far, and we know they can finish the year with great success. Together, we can ensure they stay focused, confident, and ready for a strong finish to the school year.

Grade Recovery: If your child does not have a 60% or higher in Math, ELA, Science, or Social Studies, he or she is in danger of being retained. Your child will be enrolled in a Progress Learning Course to help them complete grade recovery. At this time, there will not be Summer Grade Recovery, therefore it is important they complete grade recovery now.

Tutoring is happening on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM.

It is important students bring their laptop fully charged each morning. If your child has lost their charger, they need to pay to replace the charger via myschoolbucks.com Link to purchase another charger- https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/prdembd?ref=ZZI5ZPOO4Y04ON8_ZZ60CKPO0HCPIMF

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we finish strong!.

We would like to welcome Ms. Burris to our Science Team (3/25) , Ms. Courtney (4/8) to our Math team, and Mr. St Romain will be moving from Math to Social Studies (3/23). Please give them patience as they set up communication and get to know your students. We are excited for them to start and know they we will be assets to our instructional teams.
