Heritage Academy’s mission statement:
We are dedicated to youth, their growth and development, and believe in building sound character through strong families, strong communities, and a strong nation.
While teaching the academic disciplines, Heritage Academy is dedicated to instilling into the minds and hearts of our youth knowledge of and respect for the ideals and values of the great men and women of history, including those who founded the American nation.
As they gain an appreciation of these people of accomplishment, they will be ready to provide the selfless service to their fellow citizens and to their country which will be required in the coming years to assist in restoring America’s greatness.
Heritage Academy exists to this end.

Why PTO Dues?
If you haven’t yet paid, please consider doing so now:
School administration diligently strives to keep costs down and does not randomly pass expenses on to families. Your suggested dues of $20 per family helps fund new technology for our scholars, subsidize low cost lunch options, and provide treats and prizes for various school functions such as Constitution week.
Our PTO has no major fundraisers that we will ask parents or teachers to support. We count on your suggested annual dues.
We want you to know that all parents are invited to attend our board meetings. Check out more about PTO HERE
