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:
Hello Heritage Families,
Thank you for all your hard work this quarter.
Enjoy your fall break!
Heidi Udall, Principal

Ms. Stephanie Campos
My name is Ms. Stephanie Campos. I was born in Belize Central America and grew up in New York City. I received my Associates of Arts at Kingsborough Community College. I moved to the Copper State in 2015 and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the world. I love the Sonoran Desert. I am beyond excited to be a part of the Heritage Academy Family! I am looking forward to working with you and getting to know your scholars and helping them succeed on their academic journey.
Mr. Ganon connelly Learn more
I love teaching at Heritage and spending time with all of the fun and creative students who attend here. I have a bachelor’s in Film and Television and a Master’s of Business Administration from BYU. I also have Minors in Music and Spanish. After graduating with my bachelor’s I began my first career working 10 years in live television. Highlights include NBA playoffs, Major League Soccer and the Paralympic Games in London. I also use my business degree to run an accounting firm. Teaching Digital Imaging has been a special opportunity for me to exercise my creative passion while helping to inspire students to create wonderful things. When I’m not doing accounting or teaching I love to spend time with my beautiful wife and 6 children (3 of whom are at Heritage!).
