Heritage Happenings
May 1, 2022
Dear Heritage Families
Hello Heritage Families,
We are so excited to introduce the new principal at Heritage Intermediate. Mrs. Hanks is well known to the Heritage campus as she was a past 5th grade teacher. For the past two years, Mrs. Hanks has been the Assistant Principal at Lakeview Elementary. We are thrilled she is returning!
We are also sad to say goodbye to Dr. Morrison! She has been the Assistant Principal on the Primary side for the last 3 years. She has accepted a job closer to her home in the Kirkwood School District. While we will miss her dearly at Heritage, we wish her the best of luck with her shorter commute and new school!
Sincerely,
Dr. Megan Sutton & Dr. Jodi Oliver
