Parents and students of all ages are welcome to join us as we begin the day in the main sanctuary at 9:00 am with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, announcements, worship and a Biblical message from Pastor Eric Maggio. It's a blessing to start our day in this way!
Classes begin at 9:30 am. We offer a selection of both enrichment and academic classes for Elementary, Jr. High and High School. We have a nursery, preschool, and kindergarten program (newborn to 5 yrs old) staffed by Heritage moms to care for your little ones while you are working with your teaching team.
If you are a new family interested in joining Heritage, please feel free to visit us during one of our class days for a time to get to know us and our campus. Send us an email to let us know when you would like to come.
We enjoy having lunch together between 2nd and 3rd periods. Snack bar options are available during all three periods, as well as preordered hot lunches! If you do not preorder lunch, please pack lunches to bring.
Fellowship is a key component of our Class Day. Fellowship Hall A will be open throughout our Class Day to connect with other parents and enjoy a cup of coffee, in addition to light refreshments.
Erin McKinsey is a San Diego native and Heritage Christian School Alumna. Additionally, she is the daughter of Tracy West, our school accountant. Tracy was called by the Lord when Erin was in 5th grade to homeschool her 3 youngest daughters. Erin returned to HCS in 2017 to begin the academic adventure of her daughter Harmony. She has worked in many educational settings including nursery coordination, after-school programs, tutoring, preschool and elementary classrooms.
Following her graduation from Point Loma Nazarene University with a Bachelor of Arts in Education and Concentration in Human Development, Erin earned a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from San Diego State University. Prior to becoming a mother, she instructed Second Grade at Trinity Christian School. This was a truly exciting time for Erin, as she was teaching under the leadership of her former elementary school principal. Erin had attended TCS as a child, beginning in preschool and lasting through 4th grade. When she was 18 years old, Erin was also hired as the lunch supervisor and PE Coach.
Now, Erin is employed as a teacher part-time and head of curriculum development. She has attended Foothills Christian Church for the past 25 years. For her, it is a priceless treasure to serve HCS families as Del Cerro Class Day Lead and share in the joy of learning together as we grow in God’s love.
