CLASSROOM EXPANSION & RENOVATION PROJECT
Horizon Honors is in a campaign to renovate and expand classrooms, as well as an addition for a performing arts center and smaller gymnasium on the west side of our campus.
CAMPAIGN PURPOSE
Horizon Honors’ classrooms were initially constructed for elementary students, are smaller in size, and set up for team teaching. Since these classrooms are now designated for secondary students, there is a need for an update. Horizon Honors is also seeing a trend in increased student enrollment in its middle school and high school. This expansion project will meet Horizon’s needs for both increased enrollment and updated classrooms.
With the renovation, Horizon Honors will strategically plan for the classrooms to be moved to the West Wing and build those classrooms to support the needs such as:
• Upgraded science labs
• Upgraded special area classrooms such as art, computer science, and virtual lab classes
• The upgraded classrooms would allow for re-assigning areas of the school to provide for a student commons area where the current art room/digital classrooms are being held
WHO BENEFITS?
• Current & Future K-12 Horizon Honors Students. All students that are currently in the Elementary School and many students in the Secondary School will have the opportunity to directly experience these changes and benefit wholly from these updates.
• Older Horizon Honors Students & Alumni. While some Secondary School students may not get to experience these changes in the near-term, this is a step forward for our school that will have a lasting impact. When these projects are completed, the value of a Horizon Honors education will significantly increase.
• Horizon Honors Teachers. Updated, larger classrooms will enhance teacher effectiveness. Newer classroom spaces will also allow for an increase in student technology use and more frequent hands-on learning opportunities.
• Our Community & Our World. Horizon Honors students are preparing to be the next generation of problem solvers and change-makers. With better facilities, students will be more equipped upon graduation for life’s next set of responsibilities and challenges. Horizon Honors alumni already work in prominent roles and industries throughout the world. With state-of-the-art facilities, learning, believing, dreaming, and daring will rise to an even higher standard. There is no telling how future Eagles will change the world!
