Where do I even start on this episode? If half of what I have learned is true about the culture of drinking among the administration at that school, then there is a much bigger problem than what I previously surmised. Is this the behavior of adults you want as role models for your child?

If parents and board members are truly concerned about the children, why do they continue ignoring bad behaviors and pretending that nothing has happened? If you truly care about the children, you will stand up and fully investigate the backgrounds of all your employees and their fitness for their duties. You will examine not only their suitability and qualifications for their positions but also their moral turpitude.

Do children have reasonable expectations of privacy in school? Legally? Yes and no. They have a reasonable expectation of privacy and to be free from intrusion into personal matters, even in a school setting.Do children have a right to privacy? Yes, but those rights are not always clearly defined, and as a result, school administrators and teachers often violate students' rights. Heritage Academy is not any different.

Why are some sports and students who play those sports more equal at Heritage Academy than others? Is anyone even concerned about the children at this school? Do they only care about how the Varsity big three boys teams perform? Is Heritage Academy just another school chasing athletic trophies?

2024/12/10

Heritage Academy has lost its primary focus: High Moral Standards and Academic Excellence. The leadership has failed the children of the school academically, morally, and athletically over and over under the helm of Sean Harrison, Head of Schools. Two administrators left under ethical challenges and one of those departures resulted in a negative emotional impact on the entire middle school where he taught the 7th and 8th grade. And today, the incompetent leadership of the head of schools has exposed

Heritage Academy boasts a 100% graduation rate…while that is mostly true each year, it is not exactly true for every year…how they get that number is a few tricks and some smoke and mirrors. Just like their 100% college acceptance rate…more on that in a bit as well…but first graduation rates.

Follow the Money: Heritage Academy Taxes and Financials

2024/12/02

Money is a significant topic of discussion for most non-profits. The financial well-being of Heritage is surprisingly robust considering they are always complaining to the parents about how tight money is. Especially when academic programs and teachers inquire about funding, they are always told, “Maybe we can get a donor to cover it in the future…” and then it is never discussed again. But lots of things at Heritage are like that. There is no accountability and no consistency in reporting or

Everything I use is in public record or publicly available information. I encourage you to do your research. It is this easy!Here is an explanation of how I researched the Heritage Academy Project/Expose. To see the documents go to the Youtube video: https://youtu.be/eYr4ITrANuo

Heritage Academy Part 8: The MAIS Football Shake Down

Tombigbee Tales ·

2024/11/28

The MAIS has had a huge change in how the schools are grouped for district play in sports. It was spearheaded by Shane Blanton and released in October of this year and ADs and Headmasters were only given what appears to be two days to protest, respond, etc. The segmenting is allegedly now based on student enrollment to create parity. The reality is something completely different.

A pdf created by former Executive Director Shane Blanton titled Midsouth Association of Independent Schools: Understanding Independent School Parents is interesting. It clarifies why the culture there is just as convoluted, non-student-centric, and self-serving as the Heritage Academy culture.https://home.msais.org/board-training/new_admin_slides_shane_2023.pdf

2024/11/22

Y’all, if this is accurate this is a nasty mess created by adults using the school’s money and time to have tawdry affairs. If this is half true it is an absolute embarrassment to the school and the community. If this is a quarter true, this should and must be investigated by the school board. While Principal Sneed is now gone from the school, it is still clear the administration and possibly the school board were complicit in hiding from parents that this is a massive smirch on the Heritage Academy

Heritage Academy Part 4 Where Some Are More Equal

2024/11/22

Parents are paying good money to Heritage because they want their children to get a better education than they could in the city or county school. However, the latest teachers hired at Heritage under the current administration are not even qualified to teach in those same public schools or would NOT be allowed to teach in those schools because of their pasts. Why are you willing to settle on the mediocrity and incompetence that the current administration is allowing to teach your children for whom

There are threads on FB of people talking about me, but not one has refuted with any evidence that I have made statements about recent events and the current batch of new hires. I find that telling. They banter about words like “disgruntled former employee” and “jealous” but not one person on these bully pulpit threads has addressed the elephant in the room: the school’s administration is a mess, and the new hires are mostly unequipped and not educated in the areas in which they teach. FACTS…they
