www.heritagechs.org Heritage Christian High School’s website is now ready for use! The web committee’s enthusiastic work and creativity has paid off. Already in its early stages, the website provides a wealth of helpful school information. If you haven’t already checked out the site, you’re probably wondering what specifically these anticipated web pages have to offer. As you enter the www.heritagechs.org’s welcoming page, you will find yourself greeted by the front door of the school. A list of seven “rooms” awaits the click of a button to your left. The “About Us” page is coming soon and will provide information as to who we are and why we’re here as a Protestant Reformed School. The “Faculty” page identifies each faculty member alongside of his/her portrait and teaching history. A “Calendar” page neatly lists the major dates and deadlines of the 2002-2003 school year. Providing a list of courses, graduation requirements, the four-year program’s course listings, and individual class descriptions, the handy “Curriculum” page exists to provide parents, teachers, and students with a clear understanding of the school’s organization. The “Publications” page posts the past issues of the Headliner, the bi-monthly newsletter written by Heritage students; the Defender, the quarterly newsletter written by Heritage faculty; and the Quarterly Board Newsletters. To keep us connected with affiliated and area churches and schools, a “Links” page helps the viewer to instantly connect to other Protestant Reformed schools and churches. Finally, a “Contact Us” page provides the school’s address, phone and fax numbers, and even an area map for directions to the school. It is the hope of the web committee that this website proves to be a useful and pleasant tool to use for parents, teachers, students, and the community. If there are any suggestions regarding the website, the web committee would be happy to consider them. |

Moving
Heritage Over the summer, Heritage Christian High School was moved to a new section in Calvary Reformed Church. There was a lot of work involved in the move. The office was disassembled and reassembled in the new section. Books, desks, filing cabinets, and much more were taken from the old classrooms to the new ones. New marker boards and bulletin boards, clocks, and posters were hung in the classrooms. The supply room was also moved to accommodate for the larger stock of supplies needed for the school. Over 4,200 feet of wire was installed for the database, and electric lines were installed in the offices and classrooms. All of this and more was done this summer to get ready for the new school year. We appreciate the work of all those who helped make the move a success. The
Big Transition Moving from grade school to high school is a much bigger transition for me than it would be for the average student. The big reason for this is that my old school, Hope Protestant Reformed Grade School, and Heritage are a state apart! Going to school without my old friends is really different, but it is fun to get to know new people. Another reason for the big transition is that I never graduated from grade school. (Hope celebrates graduation after 9th grade, rather than 8th grade.) Sometimes it feels weird that I haven’t graduated like everyone else at Heritage. Quite a few people have made this big transition easier for me. My classmates always make me fit right in, and my dad, Mr. Vermeer, is always there when I need something. I think I will like the change, although it will definitely take some getting used to. |
