The award-winning athletics program at Horizon Honors exists as an integral part of the total education experience for students.
The Horizon Honors Athletics philosophy is that we are first committed to having our students exhibit good citizenship and character traits that follow the Horizon Honors' values. Next, we require that our students are academically eligible at all times. Finally, we believe that commitment and hard work will result in being prepared to compete in athletic events.
The goals and objectives of the athletics program are to develop:
- A sense of responsibility and accountability to fulfill the requirements of a given sport, team, and coaches.
- A sense of loyalty, team play, cooperation, and sportsmanship.
- Respect for the efforts, abilities, and rights of all team members, opponents, and coaches.
- The awareness of leadership responsibilities in school and the community, as well as on the athletic field or court.
- Active participation by all members of a team in the effort to improve the team.
- Awareness of progressive skill requirements needed to continue to improve in a specific sport or activity.
- Awareness that hard work and commitment are always the starting point to improvement.
