Celebrating Excellence! Heritage Earns the 2026 Lighthouse Academic Honor Roll Award!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news! Heritage Elementary School has been named a 2026 Leader in Me Lighthouse Academic Honor Roll School!

This prestigious recognition, awarded through Franklin Covey's Leader in Me program, celebrates Lighthouse Schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence while fostering a culture of leadership, personal growth, and student achievement. The Lighthouse Academic Honor Roll is a special distinction because it recognizes schools that not only embrace the principles of leadership but also demonstrate that academic excellence and student leadership go hand in hand. This honor reflects our commitment to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to learn, lead, and reach their fullest potential.

As a Leader in Me Lighthouse School since 2017, Heritage has worked intentionally to build a culture where students are empowered to take ownership of their learning, set meaningful goals, develop leadership skills, and celebrate their successes. This award is a wonderful affirmation of that work!

Most importantly, this recognition belongs to our entire Heritage community!

• Our students, who work hard, set goals, and demonstrate leadership every day.
• Our teachers and staff, whose dedication, high expectations, and commitment to continuous improvement make a difference in the lives of children.
• Our families, who partner with us, support learning at home, and encourage their children to always do their best.
• Our PTA and community partners, whose generosity, involvement, and unwavering support help make Heritage such a special place.

We often say that Heritage is "the big school with a small school feel," and this recognition is a testament to what makes our school so special. We are a community that believes in our students, works together, and strives for excellence in everything we do.
Thank you for being an important part of our success. We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment and even more proud of the students, staff, and families who make Heritage Elementary an extraordinary place to learn and grow.

It's a great day to be a Heritage Ram!
