Overview

Together we continue to build competitive teams on the field, but most importantly, outstanding young men and women that will go into this world.

Welcome from the Athletic Director

I am very excited and encouraged for the 2023/2024 athletic year! Over the past few years, we have competed at a high level and placed many student-athletes on college teams. In the past two years, we graduated 18 student-athletes that will play a sport at the collegiate level. This coming school year, we will have over 30 Heritage Alumni competing at the college level!

This year the school is entering our second year in the Georgia Independent Athletic Association, GIAA. Being in the GIAA over a year now has been a phenomenal transition for The Heritage School. It has given our student-athletes and fans opponents that are similar in fan bases, competition level, and common goals and standards.

Over the past five years, the Heritage Athletic Society has wholly transformed the athletic facilities here at The Heritage School. Our facilities are second to none, including upgrades in the following: Film Room, Sand Volleyball Court, Stadium Expansion, Tennis Court Renovation, Baseball reserved seating, and much more. Training and competing here at our facilities have given our athletic department an advantage.

We truly believe that Together Everyone Can Achieve More! Working with our students, parents, and faculty has been and continues to be one of the most significant parts of being the Athletic Director. Together we continue to build competitive teams on the field, but most importantly, outstanding young men and women that will go into this world and make an impact!

GO HAWKS!

Athletic Mission Statement
Philosophy of Athletic Program

Athletic Mission Statement

Through athletic participation our students will develop the mind, body, and spirit through competitive experiences, teamwork, sportsmanship, and camaraderie. As a staff, we will provide physical, intellectual, emotional, and social guidance of our athletes. Together as an organization, we will develop a student athlete with life skills, so they may become a productive representative of their community

Philosophy of Athletic Program

The Heritage School athletic program is an integral part of the school’s overall mission to embrace the mind, body, spirit, and camaraderie in education. The program is structured to assist the overall physical and personal development of the student athletes and to offer varied opportunities for leadership and participation. Competition, as taught through athletics is sound experience for living in a competitive society.

Students who choose to participate in athletics carry a responsibility to the team, the school and themselves, as well as how they conduct themselves in all areas of school life. Coaches are diligent in reminding the student-athletes of the expectations regarding academic performance, behavior, and appearance.

Enthusiastic participation is a key element to a successful athletic program. It is equally important that participation in the Heritage School’s athletic program be a positive learning experience for all student-athletes. Coaches are conscious of the basic objectives that should be accomplished through participation in the athletics program, such as camaraderie, dependability, accountability, discipline, handling success and setbacks, experience in cultural diversity, physical fitness, teamwork, sportsmanship, fair play, and fun.
