The Summer Academic Program is a free four-week middle school summer program that focuses on reading, English, math, social studies, and science.  This program will use a hands-on, project-based approach to actively involve students.  Classes will be in session, Monday through Thursday from 8:00am – 11:45am starting June 6 through June 27 at Horizon Middle School.  The goal is that children who enroll in this summer program will maintain or improve their academic skills in the core academic areas. HMS also offers a special education summer program.

Any student in grades 6, 7, or 8 planning to participate in athletics next fall must have a physical on file before they will be allowed to practice. A physical completed after April 15 is valid for the 2019 – 2020 school. rSchool registration doesn’t open until July 1, but please get your physical completed before the first practice this fall.
