Heritage High School is a public four year high school located in Wake Forest, North Carolina. A part of the Wake County Public School System, Heritage High School is home to over 1,900 students [1] in 9th–12th grade.
History
Heritage High School opened in 2010 in response to rapid population growth throughout Wake Forest. During the 2009–2010 school year, the campus was used by the students and staff of Wake Forest-Rolesville High School while their campus underwent renovations. When Heritage opened, educators from a variety of surrounding high schools were brought in, including former Wakefield High School principal Mark Savage.
When Heritage first opened, it was only occupied by students in 9th and 10th grades. In this first year, Heritage trotted out varsity teams in every sport with the exception of football. In the 2011–2012 school year, the building was three-fourths occupied due to the addition of another freshman class. The school was finally filled with all four classes in the 2012–2013 school year. The 2012–2013 year also marked Heritage's first-ever graduating class.
On July 19, 2016 the Wake County Public School System announced that Heritage principle Mark Savage would be promoted to the Western Area Superintendent and former Enloe principal, Scott Lyons would be moved to Heritage to become the school's second principal.[2]
Early accolades
After the first graduating class, Mark Savage was named WCPSS Principal of the Year in 2013,[3] an impressive accomplishment for a new high school. The following year, Heritage teacher Allison Reid was named the Wake County Teacher of the Year for her outstanding ability to integrate technology into instruction.[4] In 2016, Miles Macleod, another Heritage educator, was named Wake County Teacher of the Year for his work in establishing a culture of service and global knowledge at the school through the creation of Project Wisdom organization.[5] Heritage became the first Wake County school to ever have two different educators win the award in three years.
Athletics
Шаблон:Infobox school athletics As a public high school, Heritage is a member of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association. Due to its large population, Heritage is classified into the 4A division, the highest classification. Ever since opening in 2010, Heritage has been a member of the CAP-8 conference, a Raleigh-based conference made entirely up of 4A schools. In May 2016, the NCHSAA passed a new set of conferences that, when placed into effect for the 2017–18 school year, moves Heritage into the Northern Athletic Conference, which is made up of six 4A schools to the east of Raleigh.[6] Until then, Heritage will remain in the CAP-8 for one more season.
