HERITAGE FORTRESS LEAGUE HOUSE SYSTEM
Mission Statement
Our mission is to build a Gospel-driven, Christ-centered House experience for middle schoolers Grades 6-8. This is demonstrated through a deep understanding of Christian service, an understanding of reflective agency, and a life marked by a love for rigorous learning, both in traditional academics and God’s Word. We make this good deposit in the lives of HA Middle School students so that they may come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, which will prepare them for a life of excellence, a thriving high school experience, as well as equip them with the spiritual tools they will need to succeed in their lives as they enter adulthood. To God be the glory in all we endeavor to do through Heritage Academy Fortress League.

House System Anthem
Hear my cry, O Lord,
Attend unto my prayer.
From the ends of the earth,
Will I cry out to Thee.
And when my heart is overwhelmed,
Lead me to the Rock,
That is higher than I..
That is higher than I..
For Thou hast been,
A shelter for me.
And a strong tower,
From the enemy.
And when my heart is overwhelmed,
Lead me to the Rock,
That is higher than I.
That is higher than I.
