History

Horizon High School opened in 1988 to relieve crowding at Northglenn High School. [4]

Following rapid growth in Adams County throughout the 1990s, Horizon High School quickly filled to capacity and by 1999 the campus had 20 portable classrooms outside the school's main building. [5]

Originally, the school only had grades 10-12. The graduating class of 1998 was the first freshman class to attend the school.

Horizon's goals are simple: to provide learning programs for each individual student that fits his/her needs; to emphasize academic courses that challenge each student to grow intellectually; to teach students to think critically, master basic skills, develop healthful lifestyles and become active citizens; and finally, to install Horizon PRIDE in each and every student.

Athletics

Horizon High School fields teams that compete in interscholastic competition in baseball, basketball, cross-country, football, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming, diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

State championship titles: [6]
