Principal's Message

Patriots,

2020 has been a year for developing innovative strategies to deliver remote instruction to students. Teachers, students and guardians alike have learned new methods of using technology. As we navigate through challenges associated with Distance Learning together, let me start by saying that I am encouraged by how we are collaborating as a team. Without exception, we approached the changes brought on by COVID-19 with a spirit of cooperation and flexibility. Our community recognizes that the instructional delivery modifications were put in place to safeguard our students and address academic achievement during unprecedented times.

Heritage High School has an extensive history of parent support and engagement. The administration and staff are committed to creating meaningful opportunities to enhance parental involvement and strengthen community bonds. One of the most important components of a positive and high-performing school environment is the partnership between home and school. There are many opportunities to volunteer and participate in committees. Also, there are workshops designed for guardians to support their students.

As we continue to function in a Distance Learning environment, I am excited and privileged to be a part of a team dedicated to providing opportunities that prepare our students for success.

Enthusiastically,

Mark Harrell
