Heritage High School Reviews

I love the wide variety of opportunities that my school offers to its students, no matter their background. All throughout campus, there are clubs, programs and classes that students can participate in, in order to learn more about their career of interest, different cultural groups, or just about anything! My school also offers high quality technology for their students, as we even have a state-of-the-art 3-D printer for our CADD class. If I could choose one thing to add to the school, it would be a culinary program for students who wish to pursue culinary arts or careers or anyone who may be interested in taking cooking classes as an elective course.

Heritage is the newest high school in Brentwood, it offers countless opportunities for the students to get involved on campus and within the community as well as prepares them well for college. There is a niche for everyone, whether its Anime Club to Hip Hop Club to Watch Harry Potter Together Every Wednesday Club, any student can find something to be a part of if they look for it. The administration is always willing to help and each teacher truly enjoys what they do. There is always lots of school spirit when you become a Patriot at Heritage!
My experience at Heritage High School has definitely shaped me into not only the student I am today, but the person. The community the school has built provided me with multiple opportunities for growth, with people who listen, and with teachers who go above and beyond for the students that they love. I come from a single parent household and my parent is not well educated; I could not get the academic help I needed at home. However, the school has provided all the resources I need and now I'm thriving!
