We had the honor of sponsoring the Creston Neighborhood Association pancake breakfast this past weekend. We met some amazing people, including a past student's father. It was heartwarming what he had to say. Once a knight, always a knight.
We’re thrilled to celebrate the hard work, leadership, and achievements of our amazing 8th grade students at this year’s NHA Honors Night!

A couple weeks ago, our 8th graders took a trip to Grand Valley State University. They met with a student panel, toured the campus and dorms, and had lunch.
Thank you, GVSU!

Integrity is shaped through daily actions and consistent choices. At National Heritage Academies, students learn the value of honesty, responsibility, and doing what is right even when it is challenging, and these lessons are strengthened with support at home.
Families can help build integrity by modeling accountability, talking openly about choices, and following through on commitments.

Mental health matters this month and every month. 💙
At National Heritage Academies (NHA®), we believe students do their best when they feel safe, supported, and understood. That means caring for their mental and emotional well-being just as much as their academic growth.
Families play an important role, and we are here to partner with you every step of the way. Visit the link to explore helpful resources for supporting your child and family.
