History

[edit]

John Horn High School is the second-newest high school opened in the Mesquite Independent School District. It is named after the former superintendent Dr. John D. Horn.

The school opened in 2000 with only 9th and 10th grade classes. The enrollment in that first school year was approximately 550. In the 2006-2007 school year, its enrollment was over 2,000 students. Ronnie Pardun was the first principal of the school, succeeded by Bruce Perkins.[4]

For the 1st time, Horn’s marching band advanced to the UIL State Marching Contest in 2018, in which they placed 22nd, making it the 2nd school in Mesquite to participate in the UIL State Marching competition.[5]

Standard dress

[edit]

All students at Horn are required to dress according to a standardized dress code (similar to a school uniform). As of 2005, the code is at all Mesquite ISD middle and high schools.[6]
