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:

Dear Heritage Families,

You are amazing! This week, we moved our PTO lunches into the kitchen. What an incredible service you are providing our scholars.

The money earned from these PTO lunches goes right back into the classroom. The money is being spent this month on a science magazine subscription for 8th grade, pots, and plants for our O&L scholars to nurture, and cords to support our new sound system in the auditorium.

Parents, we also need your help on something. If you want to drop off lunch to your scholar, bring it to the FRONT DESK. Adults handing unmarked brown sacks to scholars through the fences during lunch is not appropriate or safe. Thank you for helping us keep our scholars safe.

Thank you again for your incredible support. We need all of you.

Sincerely,

Heidi
