We are incredibly grateful to Shorr Packaging for their generosity in collecting school supplies and backpacks for our newest Princeton City Schools learners. Thanks to the leadership of office administrator April Sloan, these essential items will soon be in the hands of new preschool and kindergarten students as they begin their educational journey.

The supplies were recently delivered to our Welcome Center, where they will be distributed to families registering for the upcoming school year. Acts of kindness like this ensure our students start school prepared, supported, and excited to learn.

Thank you, Shorr Packaging, for investing in the success of our youngest Vikings!

Heritage Hill staff are FIRED UP on Day 1 & ready for an ELITE year! #AAGV

❤️🩶Please join us in welcoming Mrs. Zaleta-Lastra to Heritage Hill Elementary School! 🩶❤️ We are thrilled to introduce Mrs. Lastra, new principal at Heritage Hill Elementary School! Learn a little bit about Mrs. Lastra & share in her excitement to lead our building forward into an ELITE year! My journey began in engineering before I found my true calling in education, where I could combine my love for systems thinking with my passion for equity and student success. As a native Spanish speaker and immigrant, my why is deeply personal, I want every child to feel seen, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential. I’ve been fortunate to lead both in corporate and school settings, most recently as Assistant Principal at the Academy of Multilingual Immersion Studies, where I worked alongside an incredible team to strengthen programming, instruction, and school culture. I am thrilled to now have the opportunity to lead the amazing team at Heritage Hill! It's going to be an ELITE year! Welcome to the Viking family! #elite #AAGV

The Heritage Hill Building Leadership Team met today to fine tune our plans for the 2025-2026 school year! We are looking forward to continue moving our building to be ELITE! #AAGV

As tomorrow (July 31) officially marks her last day as the principal of Heritage Hill Elementary, we want to extend our deepest thanks and love to Principal Peterson for an extraordinary year of elite leadership, growth, and fun! 🤩 Principal Peterson is a remarkable person and principal and has made a profound impact on the lives of Heritage Hill staff, students and families in her tenure at HH. These are just a few favorites of the hundreds of photos including Principal Peterson from the 2024-2025 school year. The first photo is a menti created using words the staff submitted to describe Mrs. Peterson into her initials for her new office- over 75 words were submitted, a few of the most repeated adjectives were: positive, supportive, transparent, visionary, stylish, passionate, understanding. We want to wish her all the best on her next chapter- we know she will shine bright in all she does! Remember, once a Viking, always a Viking! You will always be a part of the TEAM Heritage Hill family! ❤️🩶 As Principal Peterson transitions out of Heritage Hill, we are excited to welcome Mrs. Erika Zaleta-Lastra as our new principal! Principal Peterson and Mrs. Zaleta-Lastra have worked closely over the summer to ensure a smooth transition of leadership and we look forward to introducing her soon (see final photo)! Her role officially begins on August 1. Please join us in wishing Principal Peterson all the best & leave a comment on how she has impacted you this past school year. Please also take the time to welcome Mrs. Zaleta-Lasta to the Viking family! 🩶❤️ #leadership #principal #schoolleadership #AAGV

In May, staff and students from Heritage Hill had the opportunity to create a collaborative painting with local artist, Patti Roper. The only requirement for each individual was to paint something that represented them inside the circle of their choice. This painting is now on display at the SOS Art Show at the Art Academy of Cincinnati through July 13! This community art show is a creative expression for peace and justice. The Art Academy of Cincinnati is located at 1212 Jackson Street | Cincinnati, OH 45202. Please check the attached flyers for dates and hours. Following the art show, this piece will be hung at Heritage Hill Elementary School. Special thanks to Patti Roper for her creative idea and being a part of Passion Projects 2025! #AAGV
