Welcome to Heritage Hall

Welcome back, Chargers!  

As the summer sun wanes and the cicadas' trills echo across campus, I know the start of the school year is near. I relish every season at The Hall, even the “quiet” ones; however, nothing compares to the return of students, as they are at the heart of our school. Their energy and intellectual curiosity transform the brick and mortar into the very community that drew you here in the first place. 

Whether it is your child’s first day as a Charger or the start of the senior year, we are beginning this year with unprecedented momentum. Enrollment is at an all-time high, the groundbreaking expansion of the Lower School campus is underway, and new programs abound. I refer to the depth and breadth of the Heritage Hall experience as a “Renaissance Education,” one that fosters growth and excellence in the athletic, academic, and artistic realms. 

Steeped in tradition, the Charger Code is central to our character education. By learning with honor, leading with courage, and serving with compassion, our students know how to do well and good. Our commitment to student well-being emphasizes the importance of forging strong relationships, developing a growth mindset, practicing gratitude, and leading healthy lives. Coupled with a challenging academic program, students are prepared well for the dynamic world ahead of them and grounded by a compelling sense of belonging that will serve them well in college and beyond. 

Once again, welcome back, Chargers! I am honored to be part of the Heritage Hall community and thrilled to partner with each and every one of you as we embark on this exciting journey together. Here’s to a terrific year!

With gratitude,
