School Layout

Horton High School consists of two buildings. The commons, and the main school building. The main school building has four stories in which only three are taught in. The commons area is the gym, lunch room, shop, music, and auditorium building.

Athletics

Horton High had its most successful year in athletics in the 2007–2008 school year. During this year, the football, the football team was named the Delaware Valley League (DVL) Champions. This feat had not been accomplished for many years. In addition to a successful season in football, the basketball team also experienced much success by competing in the Class 3A State Tournament, something they haven't done since 1998.

Theatre

The theatre department at HHS is considered a successful department. The students put on one musical and two plays each year. The winter play was traditionally a comedy and the spring play was traditionally a drama, with few exceptions.

All of these student organizations are very active and successful in their competitions. These programs are the backbone of activities related to Career Exploration and success. Many of these students compete in State and National contests. Many scholarships are awarded to these students each year.
