Performing Arts Center Construction Begins!
Dear Heritage Parents and Guardians,
We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you!
After several years of planning, preparation, and anticipation, construction on our long-awaited Performing Arts Center will officially begin on Monday, April 14!
This moment marks a major milestone in the continued growth and enrichment of Heritage Academy Maricopa! The Performing Arts Center will be a hub for creativity, expression, and collaboration—providing our scholars with a state-of-the-art space to explore music, drama, dance, and more. It is a dream come true for our arts programs and an incredible step forward in expanding opportunities for all of our scholars.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the construction, the driveline will need to be modified. We kindly ask that you drive carefully, follow all posted signs, and be patient as we implement this change. The safety of our scholars and families is our top priority, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
We anticipate that construction will continue through June of 2026, and we’ll continue to keep you updated throughout the process.
Thank you for your continued support of Heritage Academy and for being an essential part of our journey. We can’t wait to see the incredible experiences this new space will bring to our community and Heritage family.
With excitement and gratitude,
Jennifer Titus
Principal
Heritage Academy Maricopa
