Athletics
|
We are happy to announce our new Athletic Director, Ricky Nix effective January 2020.
At Heritage Academy, our desire is that the athletic program fully supports the mission, purpose, and values of the school and that it strives to make the University-Model®️ effective in its performance. Athletics allow students to explore and develop interests and skills in sports for the rewards of enjoying and reflecting the glory of God. A key component to any athletic program is qualified coaches. Heritage Academy selects coaches and club sponsors who love God, who fully support the Academy's mission and statement of faith, who are competent in the sport they coach, and demonstrate the ability to teach character growth as they set a good example for players and fans alike. While winning is a part of our Warrior spirit, it is only one part of our purpose as student-athletes. While we strive for excellence in competition, we seek to grow in Christ, reflect Christ, and glorify Christ. Go Warriors! "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." -- 1 Corinthians 10:31 |

A Note to Home Schooling Families
Because Heritage Academy values operating as a community of like-minded, Christian Families, we do ask that home schooled families interested only in athletics still go through the majority of the school’s admissions process. We want families to be informed about the school they’re representing and Heritage Academy can be confident of partnership with each family involved. Please feel free to contact the school by phone (573.449.2252) or email at office@heritageacademyofcolumbia.com.
