On Saturday April 29th, 5 students from Horton High School traveled to Southeast of Saline High School in Gypsum, Kansas to participate in the 3A State Solo and Small Ensemble Festival. The students each performed for a judge who awarded them a rating based on a score on a rubric.
The instrumentalist’s ratings were, Courtney Cline received a 2 rating for an excellent performance on her Clarinet solo. Victoria Jelks received a 1 rating for an outstanding performance on her Horn solo. Taylor Dvorak received a 1 rating for an outstanding performance on her Clarinet solo.
The vocalist’s ratings were, Ethan Smith received a 2 rating for an excellent performance on his Tenor Vocal Solo. Shelly McLaughlin received a 1 rating for an outstanding performance on her Soprano Vocal Solo.
All 5 of the students scored incredibly high and represented the excellence our school produces in the performing arts! Ms. McManus and Mr. Vittetoe both came away from the day extremely proud of the students and what they have accomplished through hard work and dedication to their craft! Also a special shout out to our wonderful pianist, Mrs. Beth Thurn, for her work and dedication to our students! Her talent and support is unmatched in our profession and we are eternally grateful for her!



Today is School Principal Day!

Rain wouldn't let us work outside, so students helped made improvements to their school.




Congrats to Torben Thomas for reading 150 books! Keep it up!


Community Giveback Day was a little wetter than expected! Nonetheless, we pivoted and still made it work.
