Circumstances
John Davis, President | Blog

One of the most difficult things we endure in this life is our personal circumstances. We can see them as blessings or curses, but what we choose to think reveals a lot about our faith.

I have troubles. You have troubles. All God’s children have troubles. So why does God allow us to experience trouble? If He really loves us, why doesn’t He just remove trouble from our lives?

Heritage Updates
Reenrollment Deadline is Wednesday, March 1
Reenrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is open for current families. We are eager to welcome your family back to HCS next year, and your child's seat will be held until March 1st.

To claim their seat:
1) Login to the Blackbaud Parent Portal and sign and submit the contract.
2) Pay the reenrollment fee ($150 per student) OR complete the Parental Choice Program Online Application*  (opens February 1).

Unclaimed seats will be made available for new families on March 1st - there are waiting lists at several grade levels. With that in mind, please complete your reenrollment process as soon as possible to claim your child's seat.

New this year: HCS enrollment contracts signed for 23-24 will be perpetual, and families will not be asked to sign another contract for the remainder of the years their student attends HCS. In future years, seats will be held for students when the reenrollment fee is paid (fee will appear on the January billing statement) and/or the Parental Choice Program Application is completed.  

*Please note, the Parental Choice Program Online Application opened on February 1st, and the application must be completed each year for each student participating in the program.  

Contact the Administrative Office with questions (262-432-0333), or if you need assistance logging into the Blackbaud Parent Portal.

Seats will be released on March 1 for new families who are on the waiting list.

Thanks to all of our table and event sponsors, guests, and auction donors for their generosity! Through the talents of the planning committee, Acts 17:28 Dance, alumnus Cedric Hoard and the gracious service of our student volunteers, it was a wonderful evening celebrating Our Mosaic.
