Vision & Mission

Heritage High School students will be resilient, college and career ready individuals who are empowered to make meaningful contributions to the world. Students will be prepared for future success in their post-secondary endeavors, ready to achieve their potential, and poised to meet the challenges and high expectations of the 21st century.
