5/25/2025
High School taught me how to believe in myself. The best part of high school was participating in school sports.
4/28/2025
Heritage High School was a beautiful and amazing school to a be a part of. The student body was huge and proud to be a Husky, as was I. The teachers cared about their students and that made me care about my own academics. I won't be were I am right now if it weren't for the adults and peers around me pushing me to my best everyday.
1/16/2025
The best part of my experience was playing football all four years at the school. I met virtually all of my friends through the sport and built strong bonds through the adversity we faced. There wasn't much of a worst part of my experience other than me not liking some of the students' personalities. Subsequently, I don't believe anything needs to change. When withholding personal feelings towards some of the inhabitants and looking at the school objectively it's very well run. The staff and administration do a great job of ensuring all of the students have an opportunity to get involved in the school and have a clear vision of their future if the student chooses to.

great school and community. I highly recommend
2/16/2017
50% of the teachers don't care. Discipline problems get swept under the rug. Guidance counselors do not provide equal assistance to all students who are trying to apply to colleges.
1/13/2017
Heritage is a fantastic school. The teaching and administrative staff are fantastic and the community is actively involved in the schools. There are also fantastic electives!
8/27/2016
Heritage Rocks! It's a great school that while not perfect is one that is highly engaged in the community and works to truly prepare it's students for the Real World. Loosing Dr. Savage as a principal was a great loss to the school this year but I know the staff and community will rally to continue...
