Please join us as we congratulate Mrs. Tracy Miller as Horton's Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Miller was chosen by her peers for this honor. She will represent Horton at the county-wide selection process for Chatham County Teacher of the Year. We are proud of Mrs. Miller for earning this honor and appreciate ALL of the enrichment activities she provides to ALL HMS students.

 Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

It hardly seems possible that testing season is already approaching. This year we have the Measures of Student Learning (MSLs) that will be given on Tuesday, May 21st through Thursday, May 23rd.  The End-of-Grade Tests will be given on Tuesday (May 28^th), Wednesday (May 29^th), and Thursday (May 30^th) andFriday (May 31^st). We desperately need volunteers to proctor these state required tests.  Proctors would need to arrive at Horton Middle School by 7:45am. Testing will begin around 8:00 a.m. Proctors are not allowed to serve in their child’s classroom.

Your help as a volunteer proctor is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!   

If you are able to help by proctoring for the End-of Grade Tests, please contact 

Jamelia Shahid-EL, HMS Counselor and Testing Coodinator at (919) 542-2303 or

EASY $$$$ FOR HORTON – ORDER MONTHLY

The following is a list of Gift Cards Horton gets a percentage from each time you buy a gift card from stores you already shop in.  For instance, I frequent Food Lion (on a daily basis practically), so I buy Food Lion gift cards every month and Horton receives 4.5%.  If I bought $300.00 per month, Horton would get $13.50 just because I used my gift cards instead of writing checks. Click here for list of Gift Cards available.  At the top left corner, you can choose to look at the list of retailers by category. You can purchase a gift card from just about every retailer. Please support our school and purchase the gift card before you shop.

PLEASE CONSIDER buying gift cards at stores you already shop in and start planning for the holidays too. 

Harris Teeter

We are now linked to Harris Teeter.  When you shop at Harris Teeter, simply give the cashier the following number OR go online and register at harristeeter.com.  Harris Teeter’s ‘Together in Education’ number for Horton is 5413.

If you are a faculty member, place your order form in my box and I will place your order.  If you are a parent, please e-mail me your order and I will send your order home with your child OR give it to you in the car rider line on Friday.  Either way, you will need to let me know how you want me to deliver your order.  Of course, I will not be able to deliver orders until I have your payment.

Thank you for participating, and my hope is that we that earn thousands of dollars for the children at Horton Middle School.
