The original Higher Horizons Program or HH 100, was established in 1965 as a ninth grade compensatory model which could be used to demonstrate that some of the more salient ravages of educational deprivation could be corrected effectively, and at the high school level. So as to demonstrate that secondary school compensatory education could continue to be effective, HH 100 became an ever-evolving program. This evolution occurred in terms of the articulation of language remediation, guidance services, and cultural exploration oriented around the several focal areas: (1) HH 100 was to provide an atmosphere in which experimentation, change, and program development could be accomplished in response to the particular learning problems of about 100 selected disadvantaged students; (2) Students were to be helped to adjust not only to a regular school program but also to future program changes as these were to occur; (3) Remediation for specific learning deficiencies was to be provided, particularly in the basic skill areas of reading and language; (4) Available funds, although limited, were to be used to expand the experiential backgrounds of the students; and, (5) The program was necessarily aimed toward an improvement of student self-concept. Here the goal was to facilitate the development of higher educational, vocational, and life style goals. (Author/JM)
