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.

*** Sports Announcements***
Facility Upgrades
We have had a busy summer upgrading our sports facilities on campus. We are proud of our campus and have added some great upgrades. Our new scoreboard on the field is in and ready to show off our wins. The windscreen on the back fence is providing a great look to our field. We have added a logo and advertising board to our scoreboard in the gym. We now have a ‘Digital Trophy Case’ in the gym concessions area as well.
We are excited to show those off to our fans when you come see our scholar-athletes play.
Partnership Opportunities
We have a couple more opportunities to partner with us through sponsorship and advertising on our field and gym scoreboards. There is limited space. If you are interested or know someone who might be interested, please have them contact Jeff Miller in the athletics office (jeffrey.miller@heritageacademyaz.com)
We have a great assortment of championship, team, and individual pictures cycling on our digital trophy case, BUT WE WANT MORE! If you have some good high-resolution pictures from years past, please contact Mr. Miller to get them added to our slide show.

Hello everyone,
This week our creative heroes were taught different drawing and blending techniques with oil pastels. The elements of design we focused on for this drawing are COLOR and TEXTURE. Incredibly, this is the first oil pastel drawing done by the art classes… imagine how amazing their oil pastel work will be in a couple weeks! The subject for this drawing was a cat’s face, and I am once again very proud of our creative heroes and I hope you are as well! I have attached a few random samples of the artwork done this week by our scholars. – Carlos Jimenez

Scholars in Mr. Hamilton’s Beginning Orchestra class playing “Mary Had a Little Lamb”.
Scholar Council and Mrs. Hunt did an outstanding job planning the JH Water Day events. More than 150 scholars turned out. The cloud cover gave much needed relief from the burning rays of the sun. There was a foam cannon that never stopped. Scholars had a great time with their friends playing water slide kickball and running around in the water. The SCHOCO manned snack shack and the food trucks were most delicious, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

REMINDERS

SCHOLAR WILL BE CALLED DOWN BETWEEN CLASSES TO PICK UP THE ITEM. WE WILL NOT DELIVER THE ITEMS TO CLASS. Please remind your scholar to pick up the item in the front office.
REMEMBER:
Beards are for Santa not for scholars

Course fees for all FIRST SEMESTER classes have been assessed and are now PAST DUE . Scholars with balances will now start to be dropped from all fee-bearing classes and will not be enrolled back in for the remainder of the semester.
