ACSI Winners from Heritage Upper School
What is ACSI? The Association of Christian Schools International is a worldwide community uniquely positioned to deliver the message of Christ through education! There are more than 5, 000 schools in 100 countries. There are more than 1.2 million students taught by at least 70,000 teachers and administrators. Heritage has participated in the ACSI Art events for many years.
On Thursday and Friday, February 25th through 26th, Mrs. McComack took 20 artworks from the Upper School, grades 6th through 12th to the ACSI contest at the San Antonio Christian School on Redlands Drive. This art contest included many schools from the San Antonio and surrounding areas. Every student who had a piece in the show are truly winners because their artwork was chosen from hundreds of pieces of art! We were only allowed to bring two or three artworks from each grade level, which was a very difficult decision for Mrs. Mac to make! She wanted to take many more artworks than that! The following art students won ACSI awards. The artworks with their awards will be on display during Spring Arts Fest in April.
The Heritage ACSI Artworks were:
6th Grade
Lilah Brillhart, Watercolor, Superior Ribbon
Ellie Faucheux, Watercolor, Bronze Medal
7th Grade
Mary Armes, Acrylic , Superior Ribbon
Katie Chastain, Acrylic, Bronze Medal
8th Grade

Early College Credit Registration Open for Spring
Central Texas College has opened its registration portal for Summer Classes. You should start the online application process at: http://www.ctcd.edu/students/prospective-students/how-to-enroll/texas-students/ Complete the one-time online application to CTC, track down your SAT scores and make an appointment with Kristy Kothe at the Hill Country University Center (254-616-3401) You must be a junior or senior to register and are limited to two courses per semester.
More independent souls may find the ONLINE early college offerings at LeTourneau University more suitable: http://www.letu.edu/_Admissions/dualcredit/ Although LETU online students do not have designated online class times, they do have weekly deadlines for graded work. LETU courses cost about $360 each.
Early college credit not only saves thousands of tuition dollars ($328/course at CTC compared to $950 at A&M and $3636 at Baylor), the gift of time and flexibility in your future college schedule can be more advantageous in pursuing a minor or double major. Also, the seniority attained by early college credit can make a huge difference at freshman registration. Of course, early college credits afford little advantage at all if your chosen major degree plan does not call for those courses or your target college does not accept the transfer. Mrs. Sauer can help you find that information and help you make a plan.
