💙Special Friday Visitor! 💙
HHS students and staff were thrilled to receive a surprise visit from Ms. Kimmi. She was able to stop by for a short time — her first time back in the high school since before Winter Break due to her accident and recovery.
There were lots of smiles and excitement as she zoomed around the building, reconnecting with students and staff. It was wonderful to see her back in the halls, and we continue to wish her the very best as she recovers! 💙

For the first time this year, Horton High School competed in the KSPA (Kansas Scholastic Press Association) journalism contest. In the Regional Contests, students competed in 27 different categories and 11 different classifications organized by geography and school size across Kansas. Students who finished first through sixth place move on to state. Senior Cooper Strube won 3rd place in Feature Writing. Junior Bobbi Becker won 3rd place in Sports Action Photography. Freshman Emma Sampson won 5th place in Academic Photography and 6th place in Sports Feature Photography.
HHS College American History students recently completed a Design Thinking Challenge that require creating a board game to share their understanding of capitalism and the industrial revolution. Friday morning, Mr. Hirsch's students traveled to EMS to share their game with the 7th & 8th grade G/T students. It was a fun hour of game play. Students also discussed the benefits and responsibilities of taking college classes while in high school.



The Chargers finish the season with a loss to Cair Paravel.
A huge thank you to all the athletes and coaches for their hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout the season.
Thanks to the fans that have supported the team all season, whether at home or away.
Time now for off-season work — rest, train, and get ready to come back stronger next year!

Don't forget - come out and support one of our own.
