Principal's Message

Success in 25-26!

Good day, Heritage MS Families!

I hope this message finds you and yours doing well and enjoying this crisp autumn weekend. On behalf of the entire HMS staff, we want to thank our military veterans for their service and sacrifice for our country. As part of our gratitude, the Huskies will be celebrating our military service members on Tuesday (Nov. 11) with a special assembly in the afternoon. Thanks for continuing to support your Husky every day; your consistency, communication, and collaboration are so important to their achievement! It helps them succeed academically, behaviorally and socially-emotionally, as well! Please reach out anytime if there’s anything else you or your family need. My email is tomlind@wcsoh.org and the main office phone is 614-797-6600. 

Here are some Husky Happenings for the week of November 10-14, 2025:

  1. Please check out this week’s #HuskyStrong video with the #HuskyStrong Word of the Week, which is SERVICE. Every Husky is encouraged to submit their thoughts about this week’s word on the #HuskyStrong Google Form and also submit their answer about the This or That survey by Friday, Nov. 14. Both forms are also in every students’ Lunch Course in Schoology. Every submission is worth 10 points for your House, Huskies!
