Professional Vision
"Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves."
Welcome to the School District of Horicon!
It is an honor and privilege to serve the students and families of Horicon. I am proud to be a part of a very dedicated, caring and passionate staff who daily create opportunities for our students, both in the classroom and out. Helping students find and showcase their gifts is a focus that we strive for at Horicon. We believe in reaching and teaching the whole child so they grow and find their passion for learning.
We are approaching an exciting time in the history of the School District of Horicon. The recent referendum vote approval and the plans for our new elementary school and high school renovations will shape our school district for decades to come. As we move forward together with our Marshmen Pride, thank you for your financial support in the past, present and into the future. As always, let's continue to live our "Vision of Pride and Excellence." The 2017-18 school year was fantastic and 2018-19 is sure to be even more exciting. The support of our community to pass our referendum for $26.5 million so that we can build a new elementary school and update our high school into one state of the art beautiful campus is a dream that will carry our district forward for decades. The new Pre K-5 grade building's plans are coming together through a collaborative effort and shared ideas. In addition, renovations/updates to our current high school will begin in the spring/summer 2019. The entire construction project will be completed and ready for us to move in by August of 2020.
We are very proud of our accomplishments at Horicon, but know that we have expectations to exceed our current level of student and staff success as well as to continue to pursue means to create a more safe and enjoyable place to work and to learn. The School District of Horicon is driven by a deep desire to continually improve. Together, we will continue to build upon the rich tradition of our School District, and express the deep values that define us as a Marshmen.
We have many exciting initiatives that we are working on to improve the experience for our students and community and I urge you to join the conversation on how we can improve our district for generations to come.
Come and join us and see what makes us unique in how we prepare our students for the future.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. I can be reached at 920-485-2898 or by email at rappel@horicon.k12.wi.us .
I am a Marshmen!
