There is not much to tell besides the lack of administration. Since the shifts of principal, the school administrators and their duties have shrunk leaving the kids without proper guidance or help.

I have had a great experience at Heritage. My teachers are always there for me and I can always go to my favorite teachers for advice, help academically, etc. They build bonds with students that we will never forget. They have activities for us a lot. We always have a busy schedule full of activities. I also love the multitude of opportunities to volunteer or to receive community service hours.

Like a previous review said, they do not like anyone 'different ' or with any special needs. They will not put funding into it and will twist the truth to fit their narrative. They will try to remove anyone with that doesnt fit their public display. There have been multiple deaths of young boys here...

Heritage High school administrators, teachers, and coaches don’t care about the students at all. Anyone who has a mental health problem they turn away and usually make fun of those people. They treat autistic people like they’re the most horrible people on earth as well.

Some kids literally vape, smoke, drink, and even have sex at this school. The education is neat, but this school is NOT safe for the normal person. A lot of the stude...

The teachers are laid back and chill, unlike HMS. It has a better environment, and administrators know how to make the school run smoothly.
