School Overview

New Horizon High School, located at 955 West Alameda in Pocatello, Idaho, is an alternative secondary education institution within the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District. The school is specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment. It focuses on providing a personalized academic experience, often catering to students who have fallen behind in credits or those who thrive better in a smaller, more intimate classroom setting compared to a large comprehensive high school.

The program at New Horizon emphasizes credit recovery and flexible scheduling to help students work toward their high school diploma at their own pace. By offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, the school fosters a supportive atmosphere aimed at re-engaging students, improving attendance, and helping them overcome academic or personal barriers to graduation. Ultimately, New Horizon serves as a vital resource for students seeking a path to success that aligns with their unique educational and life circumstances.
