Strengthening Mission • Expanding Opportunities • Building the Future
2025–2027
For sixty years, Heritage Christian School has remained steadfast in its mission to Glorify God, Disciple Students, and Pursue Excellence. The Heritage Fund has been essential in bridging the gap between tuition and the resources needed to ensure safety, attract and retain outstanding faculty, and provide transformational opportunities for students.
Over the next two years, we are boldly launching a $6 million Heritage Fund campaign. These resources will strengthen our people, prepare for future campus expansion, and enhance safety, athletics, fine arts, student life, and innovative programs. Each project was carefully prioritized to directly impact students while building momentum toward The Next Chapter of Heritage Christian School.

The Opportunity
For 60 years, Heritage Christian School has served families with a mission that is unwavering: to glorify God through biblically integrated, Christ-centered education. From preschool through high school, our students are equipped to impact the world for Christ in heart, mind, and character.
This campaign is about providing best-in-class education in a Christ-centered environment while laying a foundation for future generations of Kingdom leaders.
Why It Matters
This campaign is about more than projects. It is about:
- People – Supporting the faculty and staff who disciple students every day
- Safety – Protecting our campus community
- Excellence – Enhancing athletics, fine arts, and STEM opportunities
- Access – Expanding scholarships for families in need
- Community – Creating spaces where families, alumni, and visitors gather
Through transformational education, Heritage equips future doctors, artists, athletes, engineers, lawyers, business leaders, pastors, and parents—men and women prepared to be Christ-focused leaders and servants.
You Are the Difference
God has entrusted Heritage with a powerful mission—and now, with a bold opportunity. We invite you to:
- Pray for God’s provision and wisdom
- Give a sacrificial multi-year gift or one-time contribution
- Share the vision with others in your circle of influence
Together, we can turn vision into reality.
