In an event hosted by The Journal, the Harpers Ferry High School Alumni Association posthumously recognized Jack Moore Horn with the 2024 Distinguished Alumnus Award during their annual reunion on November 2. A 1954 HFHS graduate, Horn was celebrated for his extensive contributions to civic life, civil rights advocacy in Jefferson County, Virginia, and a successful career in civil engineering and construction. His dedication to public service, particularly through the Democratic Party, and his role in managing political campaigns, including that of the first black mayor of Charlottesville, reflect his profound impact on the community. Horn is remembered not only for his professional achievements but also for his integrity and loyalty to family and friends.
