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.

This applies to all absences unless on school business. An excused absence is an absence due to illness, doctor appointment, bereavement, family emergencies and 9 suspensions not to exceed 10% of the instructional days scheduled for the school year. Heritage Academy must be notified of the absence prior to the absence or when the absence occurs by the parent or legal guardian who has custody of the student.

The Wrestling team has worked hard for the past two years to earn enough funds to pay for a new wrestling mat. They finally hit their goal with this past car wash. Way to instill a great work ethic Mr. Hettinger! We can’t wait to see what this year’s Wrestling Heroes can do! Maybe another state championship???
We had a great turnout for our Veteran’s Day Parade this year! We marched down Bowlin and Porter Roads exchanging smiles and waves. It was a great reminder of the sacrifices of those who served and continue to serve our country. It was so heartwarming to see our scholars running up to Veterans with handmade thank you notes that our scholars made during their Citizenship classes. THANK YOU, VETERANS! Thank you Heritage PTO for providing gift cards to Veterans and donating decorations. Scholar Council and Mrs. Hunt were clutch as they coordinated the making, collecting, and distributing of the thank you cards. They also woke up super early to decorate one of our school vans. Can’t wait for next year’s parade!
Heritage Maricopa walked from Pacana Park to school Tuesday morning. The Ruby Bridges Walk aimed to commemorate the historic journey of Ruby Bridges, a symbol of courage, and the first African American child to desegregate an all-white elementary school in 1960. Teachers and students received purple backpacks, bracelets, stickers, and flags to wear and wave during the walk. A huge thank you to PTO mom, Mrs. Risper, who coordinated the event.
We had our second High School Pep Rally! We were introduced to the high school winter sports teams and had some fun and games. Our Advanced Dance put on a cute performance. Things got a little crazy when it came down to Senior vs. Senior in a mad game of musical chairs. Everyone in the stands were cheering on their favorite to win!
Another annual Powder Puff Football game in the books! Congratulations BLACK Team, they came out with the win this year. Heritage ended up donating 303 lbs. of food to FOR Maricopa. This week there will be a box in the front office if you want to keep donating this week. Another huge thank you goes to PTO mom Mrs. Abercrombie who organizes this event. OUR PTO IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
