Ronan works hard and always tries his best. He is excited to learn new things and is always looking for ways to challenge himself. Ronan is super deserving of a GOOD NEWS PHONE CALL!

Mrs. Valerio and Mrs. Van Voorst exemplify integrity, innovation, and community through their leadership and dedication to the Horizon SPED department. They consistently step up to support their colleagues, lead the team, assist with assessments, and do whatever is needed to ensure our students receive high-quality services. They approach challenges with a solutions-focused mindset, collaborate to strengthen our practices, and willingly share their time and expertise to help others succeed. Their commitment goes far beyond their individual responsibilities, and their willingness to lead, support, and problem-solve makes our SPED team stronger and more effective. They truly embody what it means to put students first, support one another, and make our entire school community better.

Rock Star Alert!
Everlee has gone above and beyond in the classroom by modeling our PAWS expectations. She does an excellent job being a role model to others!

Day one of our 5th-grade crossing guards was a HUGE success! We are so grateful for our student leaders who stepped up to serve and help keep our Horizon community safe. A big shoutout to Mrs. Keupp for organizing this awesome opportunity—and for kicking off day one in a full safety cone outfit! 😂💛🖤 Way to lead, Horizon!

Good News Call!! Easton has been crushing his goals and accepting responsibility, even when it's hard! I am so proud of all of his hard work and goal setting!

Mr. Sanne consistently demonstrates integrity and dedication by showing up, stepping up, and following through—even when he doesn’t have to. He understands that his presence matters to his students, and he makes the choice to be there because he knows they are counting on him. He works hard, keeps his commitments, and leads by example through his actions. His dependability and strong work ethic make a difference, and his students and H-Team are better because of the commitment he brings every day!

Ximena comes to school every day ready to learn and consistently puts forth her best effort on assignments. We are proud of her amazing accomplishments so far this year!

Core Value Call Out! Mr. Walker!
He takes initiative and gets things done without being asked! Whether setting up the gym for assemblies, ensuring classes are covered, or playing music to welcome students in the morning. Mr. Walker sets students up to be fit for life. He comes up with fun, innovative games that keep everyone excited and engaged. He shows up, steps up, and makes great things happen. He is a tremendous asset to our H-Team!

🎪 That’s a wrap on Cafeteria Circus! As National School Lunch Week comes to a close, let’s give our school nutrition teams one more round of applause for serving nutritious meals with care—this week and every week! 👏

Ms. Dahl is a shining example of core values. She demonstrates integrity through her dependability, willingness to step up when others are absent, and commitment to doing what is right. She is someone others can count on to support the team, fill in where needed, and keep things moving forward. Even when negativity creeps in, she chooses to encourage others, maintain a positive perspective, and stand up for what is right. Her actions reflect strong character and make her a valuable and trusted member of our H-Team!

🎪 The Cafeteria Circus is in full swing! We’re celebrating National School Lunch Week with healthy meals, happy students, and a big round of applause for our school nutrition teams! 👏🥗

October is National Principals Month! 🐾 Thank you to our Harrisburg principals for supporting our students, encouraging our staff, and leading our schools with care. We’re grateful for all you do for our Tigers! #TigerProud
