Parent: HIS has significantly contributed to my child both academically, socially and emotionally this year. Despite all of the Pandemic barriers this year brought on, excellent in person learning(and virtual) was provided and teachers went above and beyond to help my child remediate and enrich his skills. Their focus on the social/emotional health and character development of my child has left a long lasting impression that “someone really does care.” From the administration daily greeting at Carline, to the counselor’s encouraging words, to the student led teams, a parent couldn’t ask for a better place for their child to belong. This school is following “the Tiger Way” everyday. My child is better to have been a part of it all!... Read 18 reviews

Parent: Decatur Heritage Christian Academy is a great school! Our children are challenged academically every day through a Christ-centered education.

The students who graduate from DHCA are prepared to be successful in college and life beyond college. For example, we have a graduate who will be attending graduate school at Oxford in England the fall of 2018 and another who was just awarded an Emmy!... Read 60 reviews

Works Here: I have taught at UHS for 20+ years. From the beginning, I knew our school was something special. Even after all these years, there's no place I'd rather work. There is not a school around who loves and cares for their students the way the UHS Faculty and Staff do! As our socioeconomic status has decreased over the years, our academics have remained at the top of our system, thanks to dedicated administrators, teachers, and staff who do whatever it takes....
