FINAL DAY IS TODAY for our 2025-2026 OPEN ENROLLMENT Application
EXISTING SCHOLARS – No Action is needed at this time. All current scholars will be reserved a spot for next year and will complete re-enrollment in January during the course selection process. If you are planning to withdraw for next year, please complete THE WITHDRAWAL REQUEST FORM.
NEW SCHOLARS – If you have friends or family members (including siblings) that do not currently attend Heritage but would like to join us next year, they will need to complete the full enrollment application. For siblings, you MUST apply during the OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD for your best chance of being offered a seat.
Open Enrollment will run through November 15th and the lottery will run the second week of January. Heritage siblings do receive a priority, however you will want to apply during the Open–Enrollment period (Ends Today) to be included in the lottery and have the best chance of being offered a seat.
Please note that waitlist applications DO NOT roll-over from year to year. You must re-apply each year if your scholar is currently on the waitlist.
Thank you so much to all of the Staff, Scholars, and Heritage Families who participated in our Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day!
A HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs. Deborah Risper for her continued support and coordination of this annual event! We are so grateful for Heritage Academy Maricopa to be a part of it!
SHOUT OUT to Mrs. Hunsaker and Mrs. Hunt for all of their help in coordinating our participation in the Veteran’s Day Parade this year! We had so many Heritage Families and scholars come out to support our Veterans! THANK YOU!!
SCHOLAR COUNCIL PRESENTS…DOLLARS FOR DUDS
PTO will be selling DOUGHNUTS for $1.00 until they run out!
THURSDAY, November 21st
On Dollars for Duds days, scholars are allowed to wear non-uniform clothing (INCLUDING JEANS) that meet Heritage Standards. $1.00 for shirt and $1.00 for pants/shorts. Wristbands purchased for participation must be worn on your scholar’s wrist throughout the day. Dollars for Duds is optional, and scholars do not have to participate. Money raised goes to support Scholar Council and the school activities and dances they support.
Heritage Standard means: no sleeveless or midriff shirts; shorts must be 4″ from the middle of the knee and skirts must come to the middle of the knee; no pants or shorts that are ripped, torn or frayed; no leggings; no inappropriate slogans or symbols on the clothing; and NO PAJAMAS or CROCS.
If a scholar is wearing inappropriate clothing, they will be dress coded and will need to change into uniforms we have on hand in the office.

Dear Heritage Academy Maricopa Parents & Scholars,
Second-semester schedules are visible in PowerSchool. Please review your scholar’s schedule, if your scholar’s schedule looks good. No need to read on.
If your scholar is in need of a schedule change for the second-semester, do not email me. I will not be replying to emails about schedule changes. Follow the process outlined below.
The process for a schedule change request:
- You or your scholar may complete the schedule request form at the following link: HA Maricopa 2nd Sem 2024-2025 Schedule Change Request Form.
- I will review the request and if approved I will let you and your scholar know. The change will also be visible in PowerSchool.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT A SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUEST IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT A SCHEDULE CHANGE WILL BE GRANTED. Many classes are full, and schedule changes will be dependent primarily on current class size or availability, and administration approval. A schedule change will only be considered for the following reasons:
- Class of 2025 Senior missing a required course
Missing a course in your schedule (there’s a blank spot in your schedule) - Incorrect class placement (i.e. placed in College Mathematics instead of General Math)
- If you feel that your reason for requesting a schedule change conforms to one of the reasons listed above, please go ahead and complete this form.
Parents and scholars have until Monday, November 18th, to request a schedule change. Your request will be evaluated and if it is determined that a schedule change is possible, your scholar will be called to the office during school to discuss options, or an email will be sent after the change has been made. If the requested schedule change is not possible, you will receive an email notification.
Thank you,
Heritage Academy Maricopa Administration

Dear Heritage Academy families,
We’re going to France in March 2026, and all current 8th through 11 graders are invited! We will be exploring Paris and Southern France, including the French Riviera. This is open to all those that will be enrolled in high school at a Heritage Academy campus in the year 2026. Those enrolled in French language classes are especially encouraged to participate, however it is not a requirement for the experience.
We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://bit.ly/3zgsdNF
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.
In this info session, we’ll talk about:
- How this opportunity will benefit your student
- What we’ll see and do on our trip (itinerary)
- Everything that’s included in this experience
- How your child can earn academic credit
- How we’re keeping this safe and affordable (overall cost)
- How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period
There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!
Thanks,
Joseph Arnold
