The Physics class is once again participating in the Adopt-a-Physicist program, which allows physicists and students to meet through discussion forums for a three week period. Only forty-five schools are able to join in this national program to establish a dialogue between physicists and students, helping the students learn about physics careers, current projects, and discussions of unique topics. Since 2007, Heritage students have interacted with physicists doing research at the top physics labs in the world, such as Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Argonne, Los Alamos, CERN's Antiproton Decelerator Facility, and NASA. Topics have included cutting edge research in black hole formations, ferroelectric materials, piezoelectric polymers, superconductivity, plasma dynamics, and electromagnetism.

Several Heritage art students were recently selected to compete against county art students in grades 6-12. They were Mills Adams, Claudia Bost, Nicole Young, Connor Heindel, Brandon Pal, Cole Jones, Callan Candler, Megan Gruber, and Emily Gray Powell.

Three of those students won awards and were recognized in the Kiwanis Art Show. Connor Heindel received first place for the 10th grade, Brandon Pal received first place for the 6th grade, and Cole Jones received third place for 6th grade. All three received a U.S. savings bond.  Artwork by Connor and Brandon will travel to the district show later this spring.
