We are happy to announce that “Rooted in a Dream,” the 2023-2024 edition of Heritage High School’s yearbook “The Legacy” has been recognized for excellence and featured in the Jostens 2026 Look Book, which celebrates the best-of-the-best in yearbook design and inclusivity. Jostens processed and reviewed more than 1,200 submissions from schools in North America and abroad. The judging team evaluated each entry in areas like design hierarchy, sound journalism, and visual variety, and they narrowed down the featured selections to recognize about 500 schools. “The Legacy” was spotlighted specifically for the design and content of its sports pages. This is the fifth time in six years that Heritage has been recognized in the Look Book and the sixth time total.
While many members of the 23-24 Journalism Staff has graduated by now, others are seniors this year, including Kaylee Brown, Emmah Carpenter, Kinsley Cheatham, Spencer Cordle, Aubrey Fitzpatrick, Ian Grant, Rayce Mackey, Caleb Peponis, Taelor Snyder, and Kyla Smith.

Student drivers need to purchase a parking permit as soon as possible. Parking permits are $30 and can be purchased in the HHS Front Office. The deadline was this past Friday. We will begin issuing tickets to anyone who does not have a parking permit starting this week. |
Please remember that you have 10 days from the absence to submit notes for attendance. If you need assistance with attendance, email hhs_attendance@catoosa.k12.ga.us and one of our attendance secretaries will be glad to assist you. It is very important to submit notes on time to set your student up for success if they are working to exempt their final exams. When turning in a doctor's note, we can only excuse the specific dates listed by the medical office. If your child missed extra days that aren't covered by the doctor's note, a parent note will be needed to excuse those absences. Remember, students can accumulate 5 parent notes for each semester. |

Parents, please help your students understand the importance of being aware of their surroundings. Please encourage your child to say something if they see or hear something that sounds un-safe or potentially dangerous. A courageous student willing to report something suspicious can make all the difference. This is something they should practice inside and outside of school to ensure their safety. |
Students who see or hear something suspicious have many options when it comes to reporting what they see. Make sure they know they can report to an administrator, a teacher, a school counselor, or an adult they trust. They can also text hello to 741-741. Leaders cannot act on information they don't have so please encourage your student report what they see and hear if it is suspicious or dangerous. We're better together! |
If your student needs support, please have them connect with one of our counselors. They serve students based on the student's last name. See below to find the contact information for your child's counselor.

Please be aware of this resource if your child is currently dealing with grief. Reach out to your child's counselor so we can support them. |
