To be the new boy/girl/kid/teacher at your school can be intimidating, regardless of grade. Part of it is the excitement of the unknown, and another part is worrying over the unfamiliar or different.

As a Charter Public School that is open to ALL, Horizon Science Academy would like to salute all who recently joined us. For this week, we will highlight and welcome our new students, staff, teachers, and members of the community who will help shape the course of the year.

This time is for all of us, and one day we hope to look back and remember this time as the moment we launched towards greatness and success, together!

Families… Horizon science Academy will be closing at 10 AM today due to a Watermain break in the area. We have no water so this also includes no after school care today. When you arrive to school, we will be doing an inside dismissal and we will radio your students to come out as you arrive. Thank you so much for your support and apologize for any inconvenience.
