Board Member
Sid Horrocks is an attorney at Strong & Hanni law firm. He is a husband to a wonderful
wife and the proud father of four amazing children, two of which currently attend
Odyssey Charter.
Education has played a large role in Sid’s life. Through his education, Sid realized two
things: he had a talent for writing and a desire to help people. He graduated with a
bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Utah State University. After working as a
technical writer, Sid decided the best way to use his writing talents to help others was to
become a lawyer. Sid promptly moved across the country to attend Penn State Law,
where he accepted a full-tuition scholarship.
During law school, Sid was privileged to clerk for a Pennsylvania appellate court judge
and a federal district court judge, where he received insight into the judicial decision-
making process. Sid improved his advocacy skills working for Penn State Student Legal
Services and honed his legal writing skills as a Comment Editor for the Penn State Law
Review.
After law school, Sid practiced law in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for two years, where he
was exposed to various practice areas. Sid quickly gravitated toward civil litigation
matters in his practice where he felt he was using his talents to best help others.
Part of Sid’s practice has included forays into municipal law, administrative law,
business law, and other areas that will be directly applicable to service on the Odyssey
board and maintaining Odyssey’s status as a fine institution where our children can
thrive and expand.
When Sid is not assisting clients, you will find him making music, woodworking, cooking,
traveling, or playing games with his family.
