Heritage Hall School is a coeducational, college-prep school located in North Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. An independent private school not affiliated with any religious organization, the school is open to students of any race, religion, nationality, or ethnic origin although sexual orientation still faces scrutiny.
Heritage Hall was founded in 1969[1] in a church basement around the time of "white flight" when parents did not want their children attending segregated schools. Though Heritage Hall was founded on "white flight", the school is in no way segregated today.[2]
Heritage Hall serves children from preschool through 12th grade, and has about 850 students. Racial diversity in the student body closely matches the Oklahoma state average, with an enrollment of just over 20% of students of color.[citation needed] Each grade in the Upper School has about 90 students.[citation needed]
Heritage Hall is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest, and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools.[1] The current head master is Guy Bramble.
Heritage Hall's athletic teams are nicknamed the Chargers. The school colors are blue and gold. As a member of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association, middle school and high school students are able to participate in about a dozen competitive sports, from American football to field hockey to swimming to baseball and softball.
The motto is "To Learn, To Lead, To Serve." The school symbol is a torch that burns with the letters HH.
Wes Welker, a Heritage Hall alumnus played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. He now plays for the NFL's New England Patriots.
