Welcome to Horizon West Middle School! As your proud principal, I'm thrilled to extend a warm greeting to all our students, families, and community members.

Here at Horizon West, we are more than just a school; we're a vibrant community dedicated to fostering an exceptional learning environment. We are particularly proud to be recognized as a Florida School of Excellence, a testament to our unwavering commitment to academic rigor and student success.

Our core mission at Horizon West Middle School is to ignite and nurture the unique potential within each student. We strive to cultivate a deep-seated passion for learning, encouraging curiosity and a lifelong love of discovery. Equally important is our dedication to fostering respect for self and others, building a compassionate and inclusive school culture where every individual feels valued and empowered. Finally, we equip our students with the essential skills to become creative, independent thinkers and effective problem-solvers, preparing them not just for high school, but for a future where adaptability and innovation are key.

We believe that by focusing on these fundamental pillars, we can guide our students to achieve their personal best and become responsible, engaged citizens. We look forward to a successful and inspiring school year together!

Sincerely,

Andrew Agudo

Principal, Horizon West Middle School
