We had a wonderful week celebrating our Constitution and Homecoming!

Our choir also performed in their first concert of the year.

Hopefully our scholars gained a greater appreciation for the liberties guaranteed by our founding documents.

Come join us tonight for the Homecoming celebrations at Fiesta Field.

Explore. Learn. Grow.
At Heritage Academy, we believe education goes beyond the classroom. That’s why we offer our scholars unique “Tours”—educational travel experiences that help build character, develop new skills, and create lifelong memories.

For over 30 years, these unforgettable adventures have been a signature part of the Heritage experience, giving students the chance to explore history, culture, and leadership in meaningful, hands-on ways.

Check out this year’s exciting tour opportunities below!

DON’T FORGET 

Please update your scholar’s grade level with MyHotLunchbox. 

PTO also offers a “snack shack” if a scholar forgets their lunch one day, make sure they have a few dollars to buy something in the auditorium. A BIG thanks to our PTO and our parent volunteers for making this possible!
