CELEBRATING 60 YEARS – Program Site Spotlight – Our Horizon High School located in Livingston, NJ serves more than 80 students aged 14 – 21 with multiple disabilities.  Horizon School first opened in East Orange in 1976 and relocated to a larger facility on Old Road in Livingston in November 2000.  Recognizing the importance of providing an age-appropriate learning environment for older students, CPNJ opened Horizon High School in Livingston in 2005.  The school prepares students for a successful transition to adulthood by offering a multitude of programs and services.  Students  can join the school choir, perform in a school play, run for student government, or even report the school news! Horizon High School has grown so much in just 8 short years – it will be exciting to see what it can accomplish in the next 8!
