History

Established in 1972, Heritage is the newest of the three high schools within Littleton Public Schools. The other two are Littleton High School (opened in its present location in 1956) and Arapahoe High School (established in 1964). [3]

In 2006, the Heritage High School Community Relations Committee sent a delegation to Sierra Leone to explore how the school could aid the country. Over three years, the school raised $60,000 to start a school, Heritage of Kabala, in Kabala, Sierra Leone. The school opened in 2009 and the Littleton school continues to have a relationship with their sister school through fundraising and service trips. [4]
