History
Horizon High School opened in 1988 to relieve crowding at Northglenn High School.[4]
Following rapid growth in Adams County throughout the 1990s, Horizon High School quickly filled to capacity and by 1999 the campus had 20 portable classrooms outside the school's main building.[5]
Originally, the school only had grades 10-12. The graduating class of 1998 was the first freshman class to attend the school.
