Có lẽ chính việc không được học hành đầy đủ đã truyền cảm hứng cho Horace Mann làm việc không mệt mỏi để đem lại những cải cách quan trọng trong ngành giáo dục. Khi ông còn là một đứa trẻ, cha và anh trai của ông qua đời, và ông trở thành trụ cột chính trong gia đình. Cũng như hầu hết bọn trẻ trong thị trấn, ông chỉ tới trường tầm hai hay ba lần một năm. Sau này, được một số thầy cô giáo giúp đỡ, ông có điều kiện học luật và trở thành một thành viên của tòa án bang Massachusetts, nhưng ông không bao giờ quên được những khó khăn thời nhỏ.

Trong khi đang phục vụ tại cơ quan lập pháp của bang Massachusetts, ông đã ký vào một bản dự luật giáo dục mang tính lịch sử về việc thành lập Hội đồng giáo dục cho bang. Không hề hối tiếc, ông đã từ bỏ nghề luật và sự nghiệp chính trị đang rất thành công của mình để trở thành thư ký đầu tiên của hội đồng nói trên.

Ở đó ông đã tiến hành hàng loạt những thay đổi to lớn trong thời kỳ cốt lõi của việc tái xây dựng, do đó đã khai sinh ra hệ thống giáo dục tiểu học có phân khối lớp ở Mỹ để thay thế cho hệ thống giáo dục cũ. Dưới sự điều hành của ông, các chương trình học được cải tổ, thời gian cho một năm học được kéo dài, ngắn nhất là sáu tháng, và bắt buộc mọi trẻ em dưới 16 tuổi phải tới trường. Một số các cải cách quan trọng khác bao gồm việc thành lập ra những trường chuẩn tắc của bang để huấn luyện nghề nghiệp cho giáo viên, các học viện đào tạo giáo viên tại chức, và những nơi học tập dành cho người lớn. Ông cũng góp phần tăng lương cho các giáo viên và xây dựng các thư viện trong trường học.

Ý tưởng của Mann về việc cải cách hệ thống trường học được phát triển và phân bổ trong mười hai bản báo cáo thường niên gửi về bang Massachusetts mà ông viết trong thời kỳ nắm giữ chức vụ thư ký Hội đồng giáo dục. Được xem là khá cấp tiến vào thời điểm đó, các cải cách của bang Massachusetts sau này được đem ra làm hình mẫu cho cả đất nước. Mann được công nhận là cha đẻ của nền giáo dục công lập.
