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.
Heritage Academy Maricopa has formed a Trap and Skeet Club and we’re looking for scholars grades 9 through 12 to join our team! Whether you’re a seasoned trap and skeet athlete or a beginner, we welcome you to come and learn the sport of trap, skeet, sporting clays, and 5-stand in a safe and responsible environment.
Scholars will learn a new skill they can enjoy for a lifetime, make lasting friendships, and compete against scholars from other high schools’ teams across the nation.
Don’t miss out on an opportunity to be a part of the fastest growing and safest high school sport in the country!

SCHOLAR LOOKING FOR HELP!
Heritage scholars and parents,
We have a scholar who came to pick up their instrument after school and it wasn’t in the classroom to pick up. Please make sure your scholars have their own cello. You can check the post that is on the Parents of Heritage Academy Maricopa page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/heritageptomaricopa
DRIVELINE REMINDER!
PLEASE remember that 0ur driveline is being monitored closely this year. No one can park on the street outside of our campus before the driveline. Parents must park in our “cell phone lot” until our gates are open at 3:15. Our city and our neighbors need your cooperation.
Teachers on the lookout for items
Mrs. Steelman is looking to rehome a few old tablets/iPads, laptops, or even old cellphones (with their charging cords) for use in her classroom. You can wipe/clear all of your data, but they need to have the capability to access the internet. Please bring any donations to the front office for Mrs. Steelman, Room 148.
Did you get a new phone, computer, or tablet for Christmas?
Mrs. Steelman can use your old devices!
Mrs. Steelman’s MAT 187 Precalculus class utilizing the whiteboards that were just installed.
A few NHS Scholars helped out another NHS Scholar with a veteran’s lunch for an organization she was a part of. NHS Scholar , Cienna West, asked if there were any NHS members interested in helping out the organization for the veteran’s lunch on January 7th, and these are the ones that went. Scholars supporting one another is what Heritage is all about!
The Naval Forces of the American Revolution, both friends and foe, arrived at Heritage Academy this week.
Scholars in Ms. Schmidgall’s 7th grade History classes examined artifacts, designed flags, and tried to figure out how to wear the uniforms of those who battled on the water. They had a great time trying on the clothes and did a great job with the artifacts!
Our Advanced Art class started painting this week, and they are creating acrylic paintings in the “Impressionist” style. They are learning to “let go” and create an image by painting hundreds of individual strokes. Each scholar chose an animal to paint, and here are a few samples!
Thank you. -Mr. Jimenez
It’s a brand new year to donate to ECA funds. 
COURSE FEES ARE PAST DUE
Course fees for all SECOND SEMESTER classes have been assessed and are now PAST DUE . Scholars with balances are now being dropped from all fee-bearing classes and will not be enrolled back in for the remainder of the semester.
As a reminder, our course fees are for the class, not the sport. Even if your scholar is not playing on a competitive team, you are still responsible for paying the course fee as is listed on the course request form completed at registration.

SCHOLARS SHOULD NOT BE SIGNED OUT BETWEEN 2:30-3:30 PM
Need to schedule an appointment for your scholar during school hours? We ask that you try and schedule appointments on Fridays when the scholars are out of school. We know this isn’t always possible due to days and hours of operation, however due to our driveline, we are not able to sign scholars out after 2:30 pm. If you have an appointment for your scholar, we will need you to pick them up before 2:30 pm or wait until school is out to pick up your scholar.
***LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS****
