Welcome

Miss Horton

Hey everyone! I'm Miss Horton. I have recently graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne University with my Bachelors of Arts in History. This will be my first year teaching and I could not be more excited! We are going to have a great year!

I was apart of the first graduating class of Pinnacle and I am so excited to return. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I am obsessed with sour gummy worms and Kit-Kats. I love going to Mi Pubs or Pleasant City Grill with my friends. I am engaged and will be getting married in June of 2024.
