Welcome to Heritage Academy in Columbus, Mississippi! We are proud to have approximately 15% of our student body who are military-connected as well as several members of our faculty, and staff. Heritage Academy works diligently to support military families and address transitional challenges through the efforts of our students, teachers, counselor, and school administrators. 

We are committed to partnering with you to ensure excellence in the education of military-connected students and in finding innovative ways to support our military families.  For example, we celebrate military children and families with numerous special events throughout the school year, such as our annual Veterans Day assembly and reception, "Purple-Up" Day, and more!   If you have questions or need additional information, please contact Guidance Counselor Amanda Shelton (ashelton@heritagepatriots.com) or Director of Admissions Beth Lucas (blucas@heritagepatriots.com).
