Heritage does a good job at creating a welcoming environment for it's students. Unfortunately, some of the teachers are too rude to students and can bring on many anxiety attacks for students with anxiety. You always have the first two weeks to switch out of a class, but personally I feel like it's not enough. Some of my worst teachers made themselves look good in those first 2 weeks and then tormented me for the rest of the year. Go with your gut--if there's a teacher who doesn't seem right to you, switch out while you can! For the most part, however, Heritage has a lot of good teachers who genuinely want to make a good learning experience for you. We also need more college readiness classes. The only one that helps the most is a hidden class that nobody knows about--PUSH. If you don't get into PUSH, you'll need to do a lot of research on your own.
I think Heritage is a great school that goes beyond the average public school. It has a large variety of clubs and classes that explore unique topics and career pathways. The diversity of the school really stands out with its multiple cultural clubs and people. The teachers, academics, and sports provided I found to be really great. The only thing I would like to see improve is their technology resources. The wifi and computers have shown to be unreliable at times, so I would suggest a replacement. Other than that, so far I have been satisfied with my high school experience and college readiness. Thanks, Heritage!
Over the course of my four years at Heritage High School, there was never a dull moment. There were always new activities each week during lunch and each program brought new members in by holding special events. Most of the teachers at Heritage are genuinely good people and look out for students even if they are not in their classes. Although I will no longer be going there, I will always be proud to have been a student!
