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.

Important Dates to Remember

A NOTE FROM Mrs. Udall:

Dear Heritage Families,

Such a short week! I only have a couple of notes:

All standardized test scores were sent home with your scholar last week.  Be sure to ask about them.

Next week we will be celebrating the Constitution with special activities during lunch.  This is always such a fun time to interact with our scholars as we celebrate!

Thank you for trusting us to educate your children. We love our scholars!

Sincerely,

Heidi Udall, Principal
