Important Dates to Remember
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.

CITIZENSHIP SERVICE PROJECT: Gathering Humanity
This project was headed up by Makayla Mecham, in the 8th grade. The class decided to take advantage of a project found on Just Serve and donate backpacks and school supplies to Gathering Humanity, an organization that helps current refugee families. Our project helped their children get ready for school!
School supplies were gathered through donations of our 8th grade class! The scholars enjoyed reminding each other, donating what they could, and learning about where these supplies were headed. Gathering Humanity was grateful for the delivery. 
9–11 grade students and families are invited to the virtual Tri-University Week, highlighting how students can prepare for college throughout high school, tips for applying to college and what to expect as a college student.
Sessions about admission and paying for college are offered in English and Spanish. All of the sessions are hosted through Zoom, which should be accessible via computer, tablet and smart device.
This is a unique opportunity to serve as an ambassador in a nationally recognized leadership program! Applicants must be a sophomore, junior, or senior student during the 2022-2023 school year.
Governor’s Youth Commission (GYC) brings together a diverse group of high school students from all fifteen Arizona counties to identify and address the greatest challenges facing Arizona’s youth by developing innovative community impact projects, establishing partnerships with young leaders across the state, and advising the Governor.
Applications are currently being accepted until June 3, 2022 at 5:00 PM.
