I have never worked in a school with a more qualified and invested group of teaching professionals. Students are our first priority and we offer multiple programs to help them reach their educational goals. We have art, music, library, and P.E., not to mention our amazing before and after school programs, as well as intramural activities. I would absolutely recommend families to come see what being an Ann K. Heiman Husky is all about!
