Heritage High School is a large school with many programs and connections. Our enthusiastic Husky Hooligans make every game supporting our football/soccer/etc teams a highlight of the year. Our teams have won many titles; our Women's Soccer Team even won the state championship in 2019. The facilities at Heritage are generally well-maintained and clean. Academically, the quality of teacher depends on where you look. The majority do their jobs and are pretty good. There are several teachers that are notorious for their lack of respect and harshness towards students. On the other end of the spectrum, many teachers go above and beyond, forming personal bonds and going out of their way to support students. Our theatre program is easily the best in the area, and is one of the things Heritage is known for. Career readiness outreach programs and the wide range of clubs allow students to get connected in many ways. Go Huskies!
I love the overall aspect that Heritage High School holds: a sense of creativity, diversity, and academic sense. Each student has the ability to do great with the variety of opportunities granted. Clubs and activities are a big highlight at our school. Each individual is able to create and start one based on any aspects they aspire too such as robotics. School assembly's are a great way to connect students and bring out school spirit. GO HUSKIES! Administration is always there to tend to any needs, when I was a scared freshman they helped ease the nuance of high school. Academics and learning is the future of our generation, overcoming obstacles not at just school but worldwide.
Teachers are super helpful and are always available to help! There are so many diverse clubs and organizations for anyone and everyone, soon enough you will find something for you. Getting around the school is pretty easy, everything is accessible.
