Heritage High School
Ringgold, Georgia
Heritage High School is a comprehensive high school designed to address the growing enrollment of Catoosa County Schools.
The school’s location within the 100-acre site is based on three major site considerations: excellent views to the southeast, a prominent ridge overlooking a stream and a visual connection to the county’s newest middle school.
The media center serves as the central organizing element of the two-story school, with the ninth-grade academy and grades 10 to 12 classrooms flanking it. An arch circulation spine connects these elements with all athletic facilities and the fine-arts wing, which houses an 850-seat
theater, band, choral, art and broadcast studio. The spine provides several “eddies” for students to gather, as well as access to several outdoor plazas and outdoor classrooms.
The overall campus includes a 3,000-seat football/track stadium, soccer, baseball and softball stadiums, as well as tennis courts. A reinforced grass turf band-practice field provides an additional large green space, an all-weather band practice field, and overflow parking for football games and other special events.
