Athletic Department

Current Coaching Opportunities:

Want to get involved in Heritage Gateway athletics and make a difference in the life of our scholar athletes? Heritage Academy-Gateway is now accepting resumes and applicants for both a junior high and a high school Track and Field coach for this upcoming Spring Sports season. The season will be approximately February-May. Must be available during 4A or 4B (1:45-3:30pm) and on Saturdays for Meets. Please send resumes to Coach Godfrey at: mgodfrey@heritageacademyaz.com. Interviews will be conducted beginning shortly.

ECA Tax Credit:

With the end of 2017 approaching quickly, I wanted to remind everyone to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity to support our school and the athletic program. The State of Arizona provides a dollar-for-dollar tax credit up to $200 for individuals and $400 for couples filing jointly who make an ECA (extra-curricular activities) donation to a public or charter school. In other words, you give $400 to a school, and you get a $400 reduction in what you owe in income taxes.

If you would like to make the donation on-line, go to our website: www.hagateway.com and click on “Giving” on the top right side of the page, then click the link under “Tax Credit Donations” and follow the instructions. Feel free to donate to any of our wonderful fine arts or athletic programs. Or, if you are a relative and would like to pay Bob Andersons’ swimming fee for next year, follow the instructions on the sheet attached here.

Spring Sports Parent/Athlete Meeting:

Mark your calendar if your athlete is participating in a Spring sport. Tuesday, February 20th 5:30-6:30pm here at campus.

Rio Salado Representative on Campus

November 14th – February 27th we will have a Rio Salado representative on our campus every Tuesday from 11:30 am – 1:00pm in room 143. The representative will be able to help scholars with their spring class registration and payments. Please stop in if you need assistance.
