A+ Program at Heritage Academy

In the Fall of 2018, Heritage Academy was awarded the status of A+ Program school by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in the State of Missouri.  This year, Heritage will have four graduates who have completed the program and will receive the A+ award when they graduate.

GOALS OF THE A+ PROGRAM INCLUDE:

• All students will graduate from high school.
• All students will complete a selection of high school studies that is challenging and for which there are measurable learner expectations.
• All students will proceed from high school graduation to college, post-secondary, career/technical school, or a high wage job with workplace skill development opportunities.

In addition, to the above mentioned goals of the state run A+ Program, the A+ Program @ Heritage seeks to achieve the following goals:

• Prepare every Heritage student to succeed academically, socially, and financially in college.
• Increase student opportunities for servant-leadership and personal development.
• Develop a culture of mentoring in the student body and school community.

This past year, we have witnessed many of our stated goals achieved as A+ students have served in the Student Success Center, the Incredible-Kids Program, and other ways in the school and community.
