Horizon's Fundraiser
Become a Horizon Supporter!
We are looking to our community to help with traditional parent-run supports that raise funds. Your donation will allow our students and staff to have hallmark high school events, including prom, graduation celebrations, and end-of-term celebrations. Additionally, you will be supporting student incentives and staff recognition. As a small alternative high school, a frequently changing population makes having a parent organization difficult. If you'd like to learn more about how you can support these efforts, please reach out. Thank you so much for considering donating. Every dollar helps! We are grateful to the community for coming together for our students.
More details coming next school year!
