Reflections from Head of School Scott Montgomery
If you are familiar with Hamilton, the hit musical from a few years ago, you will recall that there is a scene in the second act where George Washington asks Alexander Hamilton for assistance in writing his farewell address. The theme of that scene is knowing “how to say goodbye.” I’m no George Washington, but I understand the value and importance of goodbyes. Truth be told, I’m not fond of goodbyes and try to avoid them at all costs; however, I also understand their importance in remembering and setting the stage for the future.

A Faithful God in a Time of Transition
From the Board of Directors

As the end of the 2021-22 school year draws to a close, we pause to reflect on all that has happened this past year. There have been challenges, blessings, and uncertainty; through it all, God has remained faithful, sovereign and patient.
We still had to deal with the challenges of the COVID pandemic with the Omicron variant, but by God’s grace, Heritage was able to maintain in-person learning for the school year. The students were blessed by the diligence of the teachers and staff in not only providing sound academics, but by daily preaching of the gospel and partnering with parents in discipling our children.
We have had our share of uncertainty this year...
