Horizon Middle School

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to take a moment to shine a well‑deserved spotlight on the incredible educators who make our school the vibrant, welcoming place it is. Every day, our teachers bring patience, creativity, and a remarkable ability to juggle about twelve things at once—all while keeping students engaged, supported, and growing.

They turn challenges into opportunities, questions into discoveries, and classrooms into spaces where students feel safe to try, learn, and try again. Whether they’re offering a word of encouragement, finding a new way to explain a tricky concept, or simply showing up with a smile on a Monday morning, their impact reaches far beyond the school day.

We are deeply grateful for the dedication and heart our teachers bring to their work. They are the steady hands and bright sparks that help our students thrive. Thank you to each and every teacher for the difference you make—not just this week, but every week.

Reminder: SBA Testing is starting

We are excited to congratulate the students who earned a place on this year’s final National Junior Honor Society list based solely on their outstanding academic performance. Each of these students maintained a 3.5 GPA or higher for all three quarters, demonstrating consistent effort, strong study habits, and a commitment to excellence in the classroom. This achievement reflects their hard work and determination throughout the year, and we are incredibly proud of their dedication to learning. Please join us in celebrating these remarkable scholars and their well‑deserved accomplishment.

This is open for any outgoing 8th graders that might want to take a class over the summer to get ahead a little before high school starts. If students are going to be gone between June 16 and July 10, we wouldn’t recommend it. But if they would like to take a math class, health or get a fitness class out of the way over the summer, this is a good opportunity to make that happen. 😊

Courses are fee based since there is no funding for summer school. Cost is below. It is based on their free and reduced lunch status.

Full pay lunch - $300

Reduced pay lunch - $240

Free lunch - $180
