This is a special time of year at Horizon Honors, when we celebrate Homecoming and participate in other fun activities. However, due to temporary staffing issues and many students out of school due to COVID-19 exposures and isolation needs, we needed to move the dates of a few events:

Secondary School Pep Rally is now Friday, March 4th
8th Grade to High School Info Session "Charting Your Course" is now Thursday, February 10th
Relay for Life is now Friday, April 15th

Thank you for your understanding.

NEW DATE!

Due to temporary staffing issues and many participants unable to attend due to COVID-19 exposures and isolation needs, we have moved the dates of the Info Sessions.

If you have already completed the RSVP form, we will move your reservation to the new date. Thank you for your understanding.

ELEMENTARY & SECONDARY SCHOOL

RELIEF FUND III (ESSER III)

Elementary and Secondary School Relief (ESSER) Funds are funding received through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act to provide public schools with resources to support local recovery needs and efforts in response to COVID-19. Horizon Honors Schools has been allocated $886,920 in ESSER III funds to spend by September 30, 2024.

Currently, Horizon Honors Schools is committed to using the majority of the funds to address the academic impact of lost instructional time and create a plan to respond to the academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs of all students, and particularly those students disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Horizon Honors Schools will continue to evaluate the ESSER III plan to support student learning based on data analysis at the school level and community feedback.
