The **HORTON DISCIPLINARY ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM (DAEP)**, located in Weslaco, Texas, operates under the Weslaco Independent School District (WISD). As a disciplinary alternative education setting, the program is designed to serve students who have been removed from their regular classrooms due to violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct. The primary mission of the school is to provide a structured, supervised environment that allows students to continue their academic progress while addressing the behavioral issues that necessitated their placement.
Beyond its focus on discipline, the program aims to help students realign with the district’s academic and behavioral expectations so they can successfully transition back to their home campuses. By providing smaller class sizes and specialized monitoring, the school emphasizes accountability and educational continuity. Students attending Horton remain subject to the overarching policies of the Weslaco ISD, and further information regarding their curriculum, operational policies, and contact details can be found on the district’s official website at [www.wisd.us](http://www.wisd.us).
