"When we moved to the area in 2005, we were strongly considering homeschooling our children. Being unfamiliar with the area or schools in the county, we began the search for academic opportunities. Not too long into the search, we found a small Christian school on top of the hill in New Tazewell. This school had opened one year prior to our move. Placing our three children in this school 10 years ago was the best decision in their lives that we made. They are very strong ethically and morally. Their love for God and mankind is amazing. This school provides so many wonderful opportunities. It has a strong academia, Jr. Beta Club (100% middle school students to qualify), music, foreign language, Chapel, and First Priority just to name a few. And now, what's near and dear to our hearts: the sports at HCA. We have had one of the strongest girls basketball programs in the 1-A TMSSAA, and our boy's team is doing well also. Heritage offers cheerleading for all ages and middle school golf, which have been a wonderful addition to our school. We take pride that the players are very respectful on and off the court/course. We just have one more thing to say about HCA: It is the most loving school we have encountered. There's no bullying or fighting and the kids really like and care for one another. This comes from the most important part of the school, our teachers, and administration. Without their loving skillful leadership, we would not be the school we are. Thank you! We love HCA!"
