2027-2028 Enrollment Application Form Lottery Deadline:
December 7, 2026 at 12:00 PM MST

IMPORTANT: We recommend applying before the Lottery deadline. This is your best chance of securing a seat for your child! However, Horizon Honors accepts applications throughout the year.

Our schools expect a high level of parental involvement in the learning process.  In recognition of this commitment, enrollment priority is given to siblings of students currently enrolled if an offer of enrollment is available. 

Priority is also given to students of employees and Horizon Honors School Board members.

Horizon Honors serves students who are considered homeless under the McKinney-Vento Education of Homeless Children and Youth Assistance Act. The Act ensures immediate enrollment and educational stability for homeless children and youth. McKinney-Vento provides federal funding to states for the purpose of supporting district programs that serve homeless students.

School-aged children may qualify for certain rights and protections under the federal McKinney-Vento Act if a family lives in any of the following situations:

• Homeless Children and Youth as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.

• Unaccompanied Youth as a homeless child (under the age of 18 years) not in the physical custody of a parent or legal guardian.

Please complete the Student Residency Questionnaire and review the Educational Rights of Homeless Children & Youths if you believe you may qualify.
