Behind every child who believes in themselves is a teacher who believed in them first. At Heritage High School, our teachers inspire, lead, and care for every student in this building. Teachers are the building blocks of this school, as are the students. They have single-handedly shaped our future by guiding recent and upcoming generations. Sophomore Jules Harbort talks about the effects art teacher Mrs. Lindsey Wells had on her. “Her class is so free and fun, and her room is always an open space.” Art teacher Mrs. Lindsey Wells likes to say that it’s the students’ classroom just as much as hers, which creates a safe, reliable place for students to go.

Freshman Travis Vaughn says he appreciates band teacher Mr. Bill Wynn greatly. “He’s taught me a lot about having to work on myself, making sure everything in my life is ready to be presented to others, and being independent but also working with others.” Band teacher, Mr. Wynn, first teaches students how to be themselves and then teaches them how to be team players.

Freshman Ariel Fezzik says science teacher Ms. Terri Bicknell helped her tremendously with understanding the material. “She made sure to emphasize the important stuff, and it was just the little things that I appreciated.” The science teacher, Ms. Terri Bicknell, makes sure that everyone knows the material and doesn’t judge when they still need help. The environment our teachers create at Heritage High School is unlike any other. We honor ourselves and others, and we have the teachers to thank for this, not just this week but every year.
