It’s been such a joy to have open doors again! In the past two weeks we have had Open House, Grandparents Lunches, and Donuts with Dudes! Building community matters! #HeritageHype

PTA had a scavenger hunt at our Meet the Teacher tailgate. One of the stops was a fist bump from the principal. I bumped hundreds of smiling student hands tonight and it brought me pure joy! I can’t wait for Tuesday! It’s going to be an Epic Year! #proudprincipal #heritagehype

I couldn’t be more proud of these two amazing educators. Working with them each day inspires me to always be my best. I’m so grateful for them! #proudprincipal

What a glorious celebration of excellence! Heritage Teacher of the Year, Alison Booth Auman, and GCS Emerging Teacher of the Year, Matt DeHart! We are blessed to have them both changing lives at Heritage!

Colonel Art Athens reminds us that the test of character is not hanging in there when you are sure light is coming at the end of the tunnel, but performance of duty and persistence of example when you are sure no light is coming at all. #SCASAi3

Nathaniel Provencio reminds us that everything we do is about it SERVING…we need to do so in such a way that parents and kids want to come back to school the next day. #SCASAi3

David Banks reminds us that every kid needs an adult to lean in and say, “I see you”. #SCASAi3

In Conflict or Crisis, we either curse the darkness or turn on the light. Let’s turn on the light! #SCASAi3 #courageousleadership

So excited to hear @JohnCMaxwell speak this morning at #SCASAi3! What a way to kick off a new year, leaving this crazy year behind and looking ahead.

Last weekend I had the privilege of singing again with my college choir. It was my 25th college reunion and it was soooo good to go “home”. Here is a link to the alumni concert https://t.co/i80w1TcQ8T PS There was a blizzard! It was great! Enjoy!

[Heather Hester @PrincipalHester]

I could not be a more proud principal! The students and staff at Heritage worked incredibly hard!

[Heritage Elementary @HeritageElemSch]

We are so proud of our students and teachers! It's a great day to be a Heritage Pioneer!

[Heritage Elementary @HeritageElemSch]

It was such an honor to “ring the bell” for the students and staff at Heritage who had incredible growth this year! #proudprincipal

[Jeff McCoy @jmccoygcs]

I could not be more proud of our principals, teachers and students. Our elementary principals celebrated their growth in test scores last year in their breakout session today! A strong focus on students and continuous improvement will yield results!

[Heritage Elementary @HeritageElemSch]

We loved welcoming back our Heritage Pioneers! Thank you to the TRHS Devildog and Cheerleaders for helping us this morning! Day 1 is in the books! We are off to a great year!
