Descriptions of the categories
(click here for printable version of descriptions and guidelines)
Academics, Community Service, Fine Arts and the "Alyssa Shaffer Memorial Scholarship" for Athletics categories consider not only achievement
in those areas, but also overall achievement in supporting the tradition of excellence
at Horizon High School.
The "Greg Miller" Pride scholarship is awarded to the student who demonstrates overall
achievement in a number of areas at Horizon High School. In theory,
this student could be presented as an ambassador for Horizon High School
and therefore, truly demonstrates the “Pride of Horizon”.
The Comeback scholarship is awarded to the student who has turned
his/her life around most dramatically in the face of adversity.
