Meet the Gaetas

Meet the Gaetas! The Gaeta family's commitment to HCA shines in every area of school life. Mrs. Gaeta was the first to join the HCA family as a preschool teacher. As she shared, “It didn’t take long—just one week—for me to realize this was the perfect place for our entire family.” The following year, the Gaeta children became part of the school community, enrolling in elementary and middle school, while Mrs. Gaeta transitioned to teaching third grade. We are also incredibly blessed to have Mr. Gaeta serve as a cross-country and track and field coach, investing his time and talents in our students. The Gaeta family quickly became a cornerstone of the HCA community; it’s hard to imagine our school without them. Their unwavering commitment is evident in the way they pour into our students—inside and outside the classroom—as some of our biggest Eagle cheerleaders, supporters, encouragers, and prayer warriors.

When asked to describe Heritage in one word, Mrs. Gaeta chose, ‘authentic.’ She noted, “teachers genuinely know every child—not just as a name, but as a unique individual.” Mrs. Gaeta, along with all of our teachers, shares a sincere, authentic desire for every student to thrive—not only academically, but also spiritually as a child of God. It’s this genuine authenticity and care that make Heritage a place where families truly belong, and it’s a key reason why the Gaetas love being a part of HCA.

Stepping into Mrs. Gaeta’s calm and intentional classroom, you immediately sense the warm, authentic atmosphere that defines Heritage. Her patient and joyful demeanor ensures every student feels seen, loved, and valued. Mrs. Gaeta is a champion of a growth mindset, always seeking new and creative ways to meet her students’ needs and help them succeed, reflecting the heart of the HCA family.

The Gaeta family’s deep commitment to Heritage's mission is clear—not only in how they serve but also in how they trust HCA to nurture, challenge, and disciple their own children through high school and beyond. Mrs. Gaeta emphasized, “Heritage isn’t just a school—it’s a family, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

You, too, can experience the warmth, belonging, and support that families like the Gaetas have found at Heritage. We truly believe there is a special place for every student and parent here, and we are excited to welcome you. Schedule a school day tour to see our vibrant community in action, meet our passionate teachers, and discover all that HCA has to offer. Come soar with us and become part of the Eagle family!
