Greetings Students and Parents,
Welcome to Horton Middle School, home of the Wildcats! We look forward to a great year ahead. We are committed to student achievement and meeting the needs of all students. As a Wildcat, there are numerous opportunities to excel both academically and behaviorally. We strive for academic excellence and produce leaders for the future. We expect that all students take advantage of academic clubs, extra-curricular activities, the arts, service projects and more. It is our vision to provide the platform for all students to be successful and prepared for life after middle school. We welcome the opportunity for community partnerships, stakeholder and parental involvement contributing to student success. Our dedicated staff are here for you! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve you.
Your Principal,
Valencia Toomer
