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,

We wanted to make you aware of a message from our Superintendent, Dr. Shanoff. 

Dr. Shanoff shared that “Physical intimidation, threats, or acts of violence of any kind will not be tolerated in our schools or in our community, whether on or off campus. Such behavior is fundamentally inconsistent with the values of our school district and the standards of conduct we expect from every student. We take these matters seriously, and there must be accountability when those expectations are violated.”

Sheriff Chris Blackmon also wants to send a clear message to all students attending public or private schools within Osceola County: “If you put your hands on another student on or off campus, deputies will arrest you.”

As a school, we have seen an uptick in name calling and students putting their hands on others.  Please make sure your child is aware they will be held accountable if they participate in these types of activities. 

Together, we can ensure every student is prepared, engaged, and successful. Thank you for your continued support in making Horizon a place where all students can thrive.

Have a wonderful week!

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.
