Horton District High School and Horton High School received their names from Horton Township which was established by the Nova Scotia Government in 1758. Horton District is the same today as it was at the time it was first laid out with these changes: The Towns of Kentville and Wolfville are now part of the district; Port Williams and Town Plot have been added to the district. Halifax City was named after the Earl of Halifax, English statesman and poet, fourth son of the Honourable George Montague. He was born at Horton, Northamptonshire, England. Hence the name of this school and the township comes from Horton, Nor The emblem captures this essential feature of the township. According to Dianne Thompson-Sheppard, the artist of the Class of 1959-1960, she adapted the emblem received from England for use by the school. Although the original school colours were chosen to be black, red and gold, the emblem replaced red with blue, which has caused considerable confusion in producing crests over the years. The school yearbook was officially known as The Red, Black and Gold until 1980 when it was renamed The Horton Gryphon, changed the following year to Griffin.
