Our beautiful Snappy has been getting A LOT of attention this week! She is settling in very nicely at HJH. She's measuring 12.5 inches. We'll weigh her next week to check her growth. She's got a healthy appetite!

Join us in celebrating Hispanic Heritage month!

Our 8th grade boys played hard against Santa Fe last night. B team played an impressive game but came up a little short. A team tied Santa Fe 8 to 8. Nice job boys!

Heritage has started the Be the I in Kind initiative. Every week, staff members will be on the lookout for acts of kindness. The student’s name will be submitted and they have the opportunity to be the Cool, Kind Cat of the week! The student receives a personalized CKC keychain, their favorite snack, and a shout out. We ask that you join our efforts in helping make ‘kind’ cool again 😎

This week’s Cool, Kind Cat is Ava Westerbeck! She was caught spreading kindness by assisting a 6th grade student who was struggling with her math homework. Thank you Ava, for helping another wildcat succeed in the classroom!

Even thought we came up short vs Santa Fe Marley Holden is this weeks Queen Of The Court. She hasn’t missed a serve in the last few games. Way to go Marley!

These Wildcats have truly UNLEASHED EXCELLENCE! 💜

They have been recognized with Positive Office Referrals, and oh boy, are we PROUD of them! 🎉

We love celebrating our Wildcats when they go above and beyond, make great choices, show leadership, and make our school a better place.

Keep it up, Wildcats! UNLEASH EXCELLENCE!

The girls voted on the 7A queen of last nights game vs AJH they selected Pari Woodard!

Congratulations, Pari and team on yesterday's win!

Today we welcomed a new friend to Heritage!



All the way from the Nile… well, from Crocodile Encounter, if you want to be accurate!



We’re so excited to have our baby foster crocodile joining the Heritage family. Our students and staff will get to watch this little guy grow throughout the year, and we can’t wait to see just how much he changes!



Welcome to Heritage, little croc! We’re glad you’re here!
