Horizons Atlanta has begun a new student achievement program aimed at helping Sandy Springs students who may be at risk academically. Selected eighth graders who have participated in Horizons before can take part in activities this summer to learn how high school works by understanding what courses are offered and how to select the correct courses to meet graduation requirements.

In addition to career preparation, student work will focus on literacy and mathematics. Funding for Horizons Atlanta is through private donations and grants.
