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

Dear Students and Parents,

Over the past week, we have seen an increase in student referrals related to horseplay, physical interactions, and acts of defiance. We ask for your partnership in reminding your child to keep their hands to themselves at all times and to refrain from horseplay while on campus. Student safety is our top priority, and behaviors that disrupt the learning environment or create unsafe situations will be addressed. 

Additionally, students are expected to follow the directions of teachers and staff members respectfully. Defiance toward school personnel will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary consequences. Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment for all students.

Below is our school data breakdown for last year and our goals for this year!

Improve benchmark aligned instruction and student engagement.

Improve outcome for students with disabilities.

Reduce the number of students who are chronically absent from school.

Student drop-off begins no earlier than 8:50 am in the car-rider loop. Students are prohibited from being on campus before this time. The school does not have staff on duty until 8:50 am. Walkers are also not permitted to come around the gate until we open the gate. The YMCA provides before school care for parents that need it for a small fee. Any students on campus before arrival time need to register with the YMCA. Feel free to apply online through our website or inquire in the front office between 7:30 and 8:50 am daily. YMCA Mornings will start August 10.

Please use our school website for more information and registration to the YMCA before or after school program

At this time all schedule change requests have been reviewed. If there is a major concern (medical waiver for PE, repeated class, wrong grade level) please email andrea.wold@osceolaschools.net. We are no longer accepting elective change requests.

Students are permitted to wear Horizon T-shirts any day of the week.
