The goal of the Mentor Program is to bring together freshmen with upperclassmen to assist with the transition from Middle School to High School.
Horizon values the time all students are in class; therefore, the Mentor days are held when classes are 35 minutes in length.
Each Mentor will spend time (six of the half-days allotted by District) with the freshmen listening to their concerns and support them in making positive decisions. During the meetings, Mentors review upcoming events, discuss the registration process for the next school year, review school rules, offer tutoring services, and answer questions or concerns.
The Mentors meet with the freshmen during the freshmen English class period on half-days only. Teachers escort their class to the multi-purpose room each half-day. It is important for all of our students to be well-rounded academically, as well as socially. Our Mentor Program helps achieve that goal. The Mentors attend extensive summer training and participate in Anti-Bully training, communication skills, and mental health workshops. Mentors are selected based upon grades, attendance, discipline and teacher recommendation.
Being a Mentor is an important volunteer position on our campus. Mentors serve as tour guides to parents and students, as new student guides to all grade levels, and they volunteer during other school events.
In January, Horizon prepares for our new students. Horizon hosts an evening open to all new students and parents who are interested in or will be attending Horizon. The evening starts off at 5:30 p.m. with a mini-expo of our electives and our sports program. Teachers and coaches are available to answer any questions you may have.
At 6:00 p.m., the main program starts in our Performing Arts Center. This part of the program goes into detail regarding credits and many opportunities for our students at Horizon High. Our school store is open for your Horizon bling and clothing needs. Tours of our campus are given from 5:15 p.m. to 5:50 p.m.
If you plan to attend Horizon, we welcome you to this evening event. We offer a day event in January for our feeder schools, but any school parent/student considering attending Horizon is welcome to attend. A parent must stay in attendance with their student.
For more information on these events, please contact Linda Spencer at (602) 449-6014.
Horizon offers our incoming freshmen a three-day camp led by upperclassmen leaders to create a sense of community, dispel myths and gain familiarity with our campus culture. This camp is held the last week of July and there is a fee attached. A flyer and more information will be posted on the homepage of the website.
During the camp days, only freshman students are given their schedule and have their ID picture taken. This opportunity allows them to find their classes and get the assistance of upperclassmen. Husky 101 is a great way to become more familiar with our campus.
For more information on this awesome event, please visit the Husky 101 website.
We provide our members with opportunities to serve, build character, and develop leadership. Meetings are held in room C117 at 7:10 a.m. on the Second Wednesday of each month. Contact Ms. Kristin Baker at kbaker@pvschools.net or visit the Key Club Website for more information.
Key Club members around the world are learning how to lead and stand for what’s right through service and volunteerism. In partnership with their local Kiwanis club, high school students are making a positive impact as they serve others in their schools and communities.
Below are forms students will need to complete requirements as members in Key Club.

The National Honor Society (NHS) is the nation's premier organization established to recognize outstanding high school students.
More than just an honor roll, NHS serves to recognize those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. At Horizon High School, we are proud to have more than 200 members in our National Honor Society. Our staff Advisers devote time to our qualifying members by holding monthly meetings and events that give students leadership training, information regarding scholarships, and college planning skills. You may visit our National Honor Society webpage for more detailed requirements created by our staff member Linda Nelson.
