NEW HORIZONS

NEW HORIZONS is a public high school that is part of the POLK school district, located in MULBERRY, FL with about 13 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade.

NEW HORIZONS, located in Mulberry, Florida, is a specialized educational facility operated within the Polk County Public Schools system as part of the Department of Juvenile Justice Educational Programs (DJJEP). The school is designed to provide academic instruction and behavioral support to students who are currently placed in juvenile justice residential programs. Its primary mission is to ensure that these students maintain educational continuity while transitioning through the justice system, offering a structured environment that prioritizes both learning and personal rehabilitation.

The curriculum at NEW HORIZONS is tailored to meet the unique needs of its student population, focusing on credit recovery, core academic standards, and life skills development. By integrating traditional classroom instruction with the specific requirements of a secure or high-risk facility, the school aims to keep students on track toward high school graduation or the attainment of a GED. Through its partnership with the juvenile justice system, NEW HORIZONS strives to provide the guidance and stability necessary for students to successfully reintegrate into their home schools and communities upon release.
