Travel Club

Horizon Honors is excited to offer a variety of educational travel opportunities.  These opportunities not only enhance a student’s education, but create life experiences which build self-confidence.  Travel, whether national or international, awakens the senses—and mind—to different cultures, people, languages, and experiences.  Trips will vary by year and include a variety of opportunities including language immersion, service learning, and hand-on workshops or training.  Through these experiences students enhance their knowledge of history, language, art, architecture, theatre, literature, science, and culture while navigating the cities of the world, making friends, and having life experiences that create unforgettable memories.  Club members participate in pre-travel education and exercises to prepare for the specific trip and record on-trip reflections that recount each day's adventures to the Horizon Honors community via Facebook and Instagram.

 4-H STEAM Club Through the 4H STEAM Club students will be given the opportunity to look into a variety of different science related topics they might not touch on or fully during class. They will be given the chance to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematical topics in much greater detail. Through the 4-H (a national youth) program, students will get the opportunity to participate at different events such as the Arizona State Fair, the Maricopa State Fair, Communication Day, etc. During certain club meetings, students may focus on topics such as Global Climate Change or the basics of Coding or be given an introduction into Robotics, while at other club meetings students may be given time to develop a project that they hope to present at the state or county fair, working with other students to bounce ideas off one another or even just be supported in their endeavors.
