Who We AreOur mission is simple: create a culture that is conductive for learning, challenge our students and let them thrive. Our expectations are high. Our standards are unwaivering. If you choose Mann Magnet, you choose to follow the principles that we hold dear.
Horace Mann Arts and Science Magnet Middle School offers a unique experience for students, parents and teachers. The student population consists of students from all three local school districts. This allows Mann students to develop friendships beyond their own neighborhood. Students choose Mann because of its high academic standards and their interest in the arts or science program. There are many opportunities that enhance these areas of study. The arts and science program at Mann promotes an appreciation of individual interests and abilities and creates an atmosphere where students become motivated learners.

Our HistoryThe school was formerly known as the Horace Mann High School and theHorace Mann Junior High School. It was opened as an all-Negro high school in 1955. In 1958 the United States district court declared it to be equal to the school designed for white high school children.
Interior Design Associates won a gold award for design excellence for its renovation of the school that was completed in 2004. In 1971 Horace Mann Senior High was converted to a middle school (grades 8 and 9); it became a junior high in 1978 with the addition of the 7th grade. Horace Mann Junior High became a science magnet school in 1983 (the arts magnet strand was added in 1987) and now offers magnet programs in the sciences, visual and performing arts specialty areas. |
