Heritage High School provided me with a decent high school experience. I received and exceptional education and got to participate in many sports. Most teachers and students were also very nice and welcoming. However, like many other schools, Heritage has some things it could work on.

I have truly enjoyed my time at Heritage High School. I have met so many new people and made so many great memories. I have loved different clubs I have been a part of such as: National Honors Society, Science National Honors Society, FCCLA, Walking for Water and FCA. I have also enjoyed being a part of the Cross Country and Track team. I also take pride in my academics and have felt that Heritage has prepared me well for college.
