Principal's Message

Dear Heritage Families,

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2026–27 school year at Heritage Computer Science Academy! I am incredibly excited to return to the Heritage community and serve as your principal. Heritage is a special place, and I look forward to working alongside our dedicated staff and families to make this a successful year for every Eagle Scholar.

Our work this year will be guided by GGUSD District’s goals:
1. Academic Success for All Students
2. Social and Emotional Well-Being for Our Scholars
3. Preparing Students for Lifelong Success

We will work toward these goals through effective, engaging instruction that sparks curiosity and encourages students to take an active role in their learning. Our teachers will continue to refine proven instructional practices while providing students with opportunities for whole-group learning, small-group collaboration, and targeted support. As a Computer Science Academy, our students will also engage in computer science learning integrated across Science, Social Studies, ELA, and Math, providing opportunities to strengthen problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity while making meaningful connections across subjects.

A major focus this year will be the continued use of AVID scholarly strategies in every classroom, TK–6. Students will develop skills in organization, goal setting, collaboration, critical thinking, and study habits. These strategies will help prepare our students not only for their next grade level, but for college, careers, and success throughout their lives.

We will also continue to build a positive and supportive school culture through PBIS and our S.O.A.R. expectations. We want every student to feel safe, valued, respected, and ready to learn each day.

Strong parent involvement is essential to student success. When families and schools work together, our students thrive. I encourage you to stay connected with your child’s learning, communicate with teachers, participate in school activities, and stay informed through ParentSquare.

I am honored to be back at Heritage and excited for the year ahead. Together, we will support our students academically, socially, and emotionally while preparing them for a future of lifelong success.

Let’s make it a great year as we work together to watch our Eagle Scholars S.O.A.R.!

Best Regards,

Mark Vosper
