WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

“So parents will have an option, rather than sending their kids back to the same old school after they’ve been through some rehabilitation and/or therapy, just to fall into the same old behaviors.”

WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

“I know first-hand that recovery from addiction is most difficult for adults, and even more for adolescents. My only sibling, my older brother, struggled with alcoholism for over 30 years and died at the age of 52 from heart failure. If there is anything I can do to help students in need learn to live healthy and productive lives, I must try. Horizon High School provides that opportunity for them in a safe, supportive environment.”

WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

“I really believe in the mission and goals of Horizon High School. We lost our son, CJ Norwell, to mental illness and addiction on May 18, 2013. CJ’s issues began in high school. If he would have had access to a school like Horizon, we might have had a different outcome.”

WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

“Originally, I gave time to Horizon High School because addiction, and the related mental health issues, have touched my family, and I know how a community like HHS would have helped them. And I continue to give my time because I can see how this school has helped change the lives of so many young people in my community.”

WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

“I first attended Horizon as a scared 15 year old kid who saw no other options, and have been able to grow and become an adult with a future. I give my time to Horizon to allow other scared kids a second chance, and an opportunity to find themselves.”

WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

“Spending twenty+ years in a high school, I know the pressures on students to “fit in”. HHS creates a space for students to follow their own best instincts, and have a community supporting their growth. Traditional high schools don’t have this capacity. Instruction and success have to meet students “where they are.” Horizon is this place.”

WHY I GIVE MY TIME TO HORIZON HIGH SCHOOL

“I have a long-standing interest in adolescent treatment and recovery. I have been involved in research on recovery schools since 1993 and hope to be able to help apply some of what I have learned by working with Horizon High School.”
