Welcome to the Spud Spotlight Podcast Series — where we shine a light on the heart of our community!

Each episode, we celebrate the stories, journeys, and voices of Spuds from the past, present, and future. From alumni making waves in the world, to students building their path, to the people shaping what’s next — this is where we honor what it means to be part of Spud Nation.

In this episode, we welcome Moorhead Public Schools Assistant Superintendent Jeremy Larson and Horizon East Principal Spencer Stowers.

Jeremy and Spencer share their vision for Horizon, reflect on the core values that shape their leadership, and dig into why high expectations matter so much for student success. Together, they unpack what school culture really is, how it’s built day by day, and the role every student and staff member plays in making Horizon a place we’re proud to call home.
