The principal is amazing and is completely dedicated to the school. The teachers are very good and are highly qualified. The student life may be very intimidating to anyone outside of a certain tax bracket, as everyone is generally well off and isn't afraid to flaunt it.
I am a parent and have had 2 graduate from Heritage. We researched very carefully all of the schools in the area when we moved here several years ago. We moved from another state and public school. My children adjusted nicely to the caring environment. Both my children received academic scholarships upon graduation and the school's ACT average school is the top in the area, except for MSMS. We found Heritage to be a great school in many areas and teachers who are caring and want to be at Heritage.
I've been a student at Heritage since my kindergarten year, and I have to say I have had a very pleasant experience while at Heritage. My favorite year was my sixth grade year and my teacher that year was the most caring, kind person I've ever met. She truly cares about each and every one of her students. Even though the high school has it's cliquey issues, I realize that's a part of life and will be everywhere you go, regardless of public/private school. Heritage is the first MPSA accredited school in the state to partner with Apple to distribute state-of-the-art Apple Macbooks to every student in grades 7th-12th starting in January 2008. This will enhance the learning capibility and technology for our school, also attracting military base families and families involved with Sever Corr, as well. Heritage is a great school, and has a faculty that is second to none!
As a military family coming from another state(MO) we researched the schools before we moved and chose Heritage. The education my son received is not worth all the tuition we paid. I don't know if it's the Mississippi education system to blame or not. My son was not challenged enough. The stuff he learned at Heritage this year was what he learned in 4th grade in Missouri last year. As for the 'outsider's' being treated differently I have found this to be true. My son and other military kids were picked on.Certain parents seem to run the teacher and the school.The textbooks were in terrible condition. Not worth the book fee we paid either. I think the school gives a so so education and is out to make money without improving the education. My son won't be enrolled next year at Heritage.
