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.
A NOTE FROM Mrs. Udall:
Don’t forget to complete the Re-Enrollment process. The deadline is March 1. Questions? Email mesaregistrar@heritageacademyaz.com or call the front desk 480-969-5641.
Please speak with your scholars about the need to be safe in the parking lot and crossing streets. Slow down when driving in and out of the parking lot and put those phones down when crossing the street. We want everyone to be safe.
For those of you who like to plan ahead, our testing week is coming up. We will be administrating the state mandated tests the week of April 8-April 11. The state dictates the schedule and we do not have the option of moving the dates, so please plan on having your scholars attend school this week.
Be sure to check out all the activities and sports on the Events Calendar. Know anyone who might be interested in coaching? Have them contact Coach Martinez.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Heidi Udall, Principal
PS stay tuned next week for details on all the service projects your scholars performed this week!

Today in FACS class we created Rice Krispy Structures! 90 minutes disappeared quickly as scholars were placed on teams, brainstormed creations and then produced them. It turns out molten marshmallows tend to be quite sticky and sometimes less cooperative than one might imagine. However, look at the end result, stunning and fun!
Scholars were graded on creativity, execution of their vision and working as a team.
Great life skills can be learned daily in FACS class, and there is no shortage of learning how to wash the resulting dishes!
Way to go Heroes!
Ms. Wilson

Paul Revere Academy (PRA)
Heritage has expanded! We are excited to introduce a unique academic experience through the Paul Revere Academy (PRA). East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT) and Heritage Academy have partnered to bring a complete high school education to the West Main Street campus of EVIT. Students will earn their high school diploma and industry certifications all on one campus.
Paul Revere is considered one of the Founding Fathers as well as a skilled tradesman. While PRA is part of the Heritage family of schools, it is designed to serve scholars interested in obtaining hands-on training and workforce ready credentials. At the same time, it extends our mission of building character, developing loyalty to the ideals of our country, and serving in our community.
Scholars at PRA will split their day between taking core classes at Paul Revere Academy and elective/Career Technical Education (CTE) classes at EVIT. All youth interested in a more streamlined approach to obtaining a high school diploma and CTE certificates are welcome to apply. Please visit our website: www.paulrevere.tech for more information.

FAFSA INFORMATION!
Welcome to 2024! With the new year comes lots of developments in the world of college funding and planning. The FAFSA Simplification Act totally revamped the process of applying and qualifying for federal student aid. Simplification may not be an appropriate term; but what’s most important is that the form is now live on the FAFSA website. If you have a college bound student for the upcoming school year, you can (and should) access that form here. You can also utilize our new free Student Aid Index (previously known as the Expected Family Contribution) calculator on our website through this link.
IMPORTANT DUAL ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
NOTE – if you are a current senior, be sure to schedule your senior one-on-one appointment with me for sometime in September. Don’t wait for the last second.
If you are new to dual enrollment, you will need to complete admissions (step 1) to Rio Salado College. Enrollment and Registration Steps here . If you need any placement tests, I will let you know.
Important links here – login is your MEID@maricopa.edu. Here, you will be able to upload your birth certificate and photo ID, complete the financial responsibility form, and fill out the Petition for Semester Overload if you are enrolling in more than 18 DE credits in one semester, to name a few.
For those who were approved for Tuition Assistance, I have contacted Rio to enroll you accordingly.
For the rest that indicated they wanted to take part in dual enrollment, I will be emailing Rio soon. Be on the lookout for emails with tasks to complete (if needed).
Email me at bob.brow@heritageacademyaz.com with any questions. To ensure a timely response be sure to provide the scholar’s 8-digit college ID# (starts with a 3) or indicate new to dual enrollment. Please leave a detailed message, so I can better serve you.
Thanks,
Bob Brown
