Horatio High School of Innovation (HHS) is part of a small rural school district in southwest Arkansas. HHS began their innovation journey in 2016 with their full school and community, including parents and students, collectively leading the charge and in 2021, HHS was ranked 10th in the state for overall growth and 5th in the state for math growth (Office for Education Policy). By intentionally focusing on co-designing with students and staff and having a “never quit improving” approach focused on ongoing innovation, HHS has gained regional and statewide attention and success for their students. Some HHS innovations include: creative scheduling that includes time for daily mentoring sessions with students, collaborative team time, internship opportunities, blended learning and classroom rotation stations with an emphasis on math instruction, community service classes, eSports, EAST, CTE Pathways, and digital marketing and computer science courses.
