STUDENT CLUBS

Arizona Statehood Day was February 14th, marking its 110th birthday. We would be remiss not to remember

The Buffalo Soldiers. They were the first African American army regime that helped develop and defend settlements and borders throughout our state. Throughout the years, these same settlements eventually became unwelcoming territory to the very people who helped build them. These hostilities did not deter African Americans to continue to build their legacy. Eventually they would later acquire political representation as well.

Dr. Cloves Campbell Sr. was elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 1962, and after two terms he became the first African American to be elected to the Arizona State Senate. Campbell became the first legislator in the United States to introduce a bill calling for a state holiday to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The bill did not pass, but after two decades of struggle, Arizona approved a King holiday through a ballot measure in 1992. Dr. Campbell and his brother opened the Arizona Informant Newspaper.

The newspaper gave an outlet to report on black stories.

Families & Friends,

February is Career Month at Horizon Honors, and we are looking for guest speakers! We believe our students will benefit from exposure to a wide variety of careers. We would love to have you discuss your career and share any insights with students who may be interested in pursuing a similar career. If you are interested in being a guest speaker or have questions regarding this opportunity, please contact Amanda Tagle at Amanda.Tagle@horizonhonors.org. We are looking for guest speakers throughout the month of February and dates are flexible. As an alternative, if you are able to participate virtually or submit a video of yourself discussing your career, please contact Amanda for details. Thank you!
