History
In fall 1972, Chrisney High School and Dale High School merged to form Heritage Hills. Chrisney was established in 1921 and Dale High in 1920. In 1948, the student population of Gentryville High was split between Chrisney and Dale. At one time, some Catholic students attended high school at St Meinrad High School; a minor seminary, hosted by the Benedictine Archabbey of St Meinrad. St Meinrad High closed in about 1968, shortly after being reorganized in 1959.
Heritage Hills draws students from the towns and communities of: Chrisney, Dale, Evanston, Fulda, Gentryville, Lamar, Mariah Hill, Midway, Newtonville, St. Meinrad and Santa Claus.
