The blood drive at Heritage High School for tomorrow will be rescheduled for a later date.
Due to the weather forecast, Heritage will be on a half-day dismissal tomorrow (Wed, February 12). Both schools will dismiss at 11:30 AM. The afternoon forecast is calling for freezing rain, and we want to get everyone home safely. Extracurricular activities will be canceled.
🌸🎨 Floral Design Meets Sweet Creations! 🎨🌸
Heritage High School students just wrapped up our unit on Floral Design Elements, where we explored the color wheel, primary colors, secondary colors, and how they impact floral arrangements.
In Horticulture, students put their color-mixing skills to the test! Using only the three primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—they blended and created the full color wheel. Mrs. Magsamen took it a step further with students… on cookies! 🍪🌈
Students decorated their cookies to match the color wheel, showcasing their understanding of color theory. After all their hard work, they got to enjoy their delicious (and educational!) treats. 🎉
Great job, everyone! Check out the pictures of their creative (and tasty) masterpieces. 📸👏 #HorticultureFun #ColorWheelCreations #HeritageCUSD8 #ProudHawkCommunity

What a season for the Heritage/Academy High girls’ basketball team! After a tough 2-27 record last year, these hardworking athletes have turned it around with an 18-11 record heading into the final week of the regular season. Their journey has been nothing short of inspiring—proof that dedication, teamwork, and belief can make anything possible!
Keep it up, Hawks! We’re so proud of you! ❤️💙

The Heritage Hawks helped make Night to Shine an unforgettable evening! Night to Shine is a special event hosted by First Christian Church, honoring and valuing people with special needs, ages 14 and older.
Our team had the honor of being part of the red carpet entrance, where our cheerleaders and others served as the paparazzi, giving each guest a warm welcome with cheers and celebration. It was truly a night filled with joy, love, and unforgettable moments.
We are so proud of our Heritage Hawks for spreading kindness and making this night even brighter! ❤️💙
