The building that used to house a Taco Bell -- located on the upper level and the abandoned space still vacant after nearly 10 years -- has seen a number of entities cycle in and out on thet lower level.
The first question that arose when I saw new signage on side of the building: What is Horizon High School?

I'll let the school itself answer the question.
Horizon High School was recently profilefeatured in a Wisconsin State Journal article.
The decision to include a kitchen area in plans for the new Horizon High School opened up a whole new world to its students.
The new space, which has a stove and a refrigerator, means students can learn to cook while also building their confidence at the high school, which is designed for students in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.
“I can’t think of something better to make a human more independent,” Traci Goll, director of the school, said about learning to cook. “They don’t even know how to use a knife.”
Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin has been providing food for students’ families. That led Brian Squire, youth and family initiatives coordinator at Second Harvest, to offer to come once a week with some other staff members and teach the students how to cook in the new space.
