Our Mission Statement
Heritage Academy is dedicated to youth, their growth and development. The purpose of education is to build strong character. Strong character is reflected in 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 today’s youth a 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 today’s rising generation gains 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 preserving America’s greatness. Heritage Academy exists to this end.
Invited guests from other schools may attend if they have a signed Dance Guess Pass. These are available in the front office and will need to be returned to Mrs. Titus before the night of the event. Middle school scholars from Heritage or any other school may not attend. Heritage standards apply for scholars and guests. Click HERE for the semi-formal dress code.
Invite your friends to our Open House
for those interested in attending Heritage in the future!

We finished the JH 1st quarter season over fall break with two state championships.
Congratulations to the Junior High Baseball team on winning their 1st state championship. They played Legacy Maricopa and won in extra innings 16-12. It was a great all-around game. Cody Broek was named MBP of the game. Jaxon Pavlich hit an in-the-park home run. John McCullouch came in to pitch and did a great job earning the win on the mound. It was an excellent all around game and everyone of the boys did a great job.
JH Coed Soccer continued their dominance of the league winning their third straight state championship. The team finished undefeated and outscored their opponents 85-6 on the season. They played Heritage Gateway in the championship game and won 7-1. Owen Celaya scored the first two goals and was awarded the player of the game for the boys. Tyler Parady scored 4 goals and Kenny Guarin scored one. Lyla Kray was given the girls player of the game for the assists she provided. The team played great all season and has a lot of talented 6th and 7th graders so they will continue to be strong for years to come!
