High School at Heritage | Grades 9-12

Becoming who you're called to be.

Your next chapter is about more than earning credits. It's about finding your voice, building friendships, discovering what matters, and preparing to step into the world with confidence and purpose.

Heritage high school students together as a community
A high school experience that's personal

Known. Loved. Called to Grow.

High school is a time for bigger questions, meaningful choices, and growing independence. At Heritage, students are known by teachers who invest in their lives, challenged to do their best, and encouraged to pursue the gifts God has given them.

As our high school grows, students have the opportunity to take meaningful leadership roles, create traditions, and help shape a close-knit community. Their ideas and contributions matter.

Create something worth celebrating

From music and theater to creative projects and performances, students have opportunities to discover their talents, collaborate with others, and share what they've created.

From spirited competitions to student-led traditions, high school students help shape the experiences that make Heritage their own. Whether planning an event, encouraging classmates, or starting something new, students have opportunities to lead, contribute, and build community.

Eagle athletics

Compete together. Celebrate every step.

From cross country to track and field, high school athletes build perseverance, friendships, and team pride. Our Eagles have also celebrated athletes qualifying for state competition.

The Heritage difference

Rooted in what matters most.

We glorify God together by equipping students to pursue Jesus and His purpose for their lives.

Our four distinctives shape how we teach, lead, and walk alongside high school students.

01 · FAITH

Faith at the Forefront

Scripture, chapel, student-led worship, and meaningful opportunities to live out faith.

02 · FUNDAMENTALS

Fundamentals in Academic Excellence

Academic challenge, critical thinking, and preparation for opportunities beyond graduation.

03 · FAMILY

Family and Fellowship Bring Belonging

Close relationships, shared traditions, and a community where students are known.

04 · FUTURE

Future Focus

Mentorship, leadership, service, and discovering purpose for the next chapter.

Faith in action

Lead. Serve. Grow.

Faith is more than a class or a weekly chapel. Students are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, develop a biblical worldview, lead worship, mentor younger Eagles, and serve others with purpose.

Through experiences such as Fall Away and Spiritual Emphasis Week, students have intentional opportunities to grow in faith and community.
