About Boys Basketball:

The Horn Boys' Basketball program is an exciting, highly competitive program, which seeks to be one of the best 6A basketball programs in the state! Jaguar Basketball is based upon three components - Character, Skill, and Toughness. Our up-tempo, aggressive style of play gives our players the best opportunity to win at the varsity, junior varsity, and freshmen levels. "DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP AND BEYOND" is our constant goal. In addition, we have several off-the-court expectations of our student-athletes, including accepting the fact that he is a role model and that he is representing not only himself, but also the entire program, his family, his teammates and his coaches. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!

About Boys Track:

Our goal for every student/ athlete is to graduate with many strong traits that have been reinforced by a positive environment. It is our vision to foster an environment of respect for self, authority, teammates, and the sport. Another goal is for every athlete to do the best they can with what they were blessed with. Track is a unique sport where you not only compete against other athletes but also with your past performance. Our approach to this is to keep personal records on each athlete and work to better those records. If we do this, beating other athletes will come in due time. We will out work other athletes! Our athletes will learn to set, work, and achieve their goals. If they can be successful in this environment of high demands, it can only help them become even more successful in life.

About Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA):

All students are welcome to be a part of FCA on Friday mornings in the small gym at 8:00. We warm-up with a game like dodgeball, knockout, relays, palm trees and coconuts,… then we workout with a message from a speaker, small group discussions or other activities to help us learn about things like kindness towards others, forgiveness, patience, and managing stress. We participate in the global week of student prayer called See You at the Pole. It is at Horn High School in the fall on the same day and time that people all around the globe participate in gathering at their flagpole to pray for family, friends, school, church and community. We also participate in Fields of Faith at Memorial Stadium where groups from all over North Texas come together. Students wear their school shirts or jerseys and have the opportunity to stand together against the pressures in our world and be a generation that is committed to reading the Bible and applying it to their lives. We have a booth at the Fall carnival and maintain the “Take What You Need Wall”. Wednesday mornings the leaders meet to share their walk of faith and plan the Friday meetings. FCA is open to all and challenges students to impact our world.
