It was founded in 1964 as a segregation academy.[2] White parents sent their children there to avoid integrated public schools. HistoryHeritage was founded as a segregation academy.[3] 1989 football forfeituresIn 1989, Heritage Academy was the first school in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools (MAIS) North Conference to have a black player on its football team.[4] The school received national media attention when two other schools offered to forfeit games rather than play against a racially integrated opponent.[5] The opponents, Sharkey-Issaquena Academy and the East Holmes Academy, claimed that injuries, not race, were the reason for forfeiting the games.[4] Heritage Academy headmaster and head coach Ray Wooten rejected the other schools' denials, referring to them as "a bunch of bull."[4] After seven players and two school board members resigned, East Holmes Academy reconsidered its decision to forfeit.[6] The black player, sophomore running back Scott Fuller, offered to quit the Heritage Academy team so the game could be played, but coach Ray Wooten insisted that Fuller remain on the team.[7] Athletics and extracurricular activities{{unrefsect|date=January 2018}}Heritage Academy's first athletic director was Billy Brewer.[8] When Brewer later accepted a coaching position at Ole Miss, he told the Clarion-Ledger that his involvement with the all-white academy was his "own business" and that it would not impact Ole Miss's efforts to recruit black players.[9] The Heritage Academy football team won the MPSA AAA championship in 1986 and the MAIS championship in 2012. The Heritage Academy basketball team won MPSA titles in 1992 (2A) and 2018 (3A). Heritage Academy golf won the MAIS 3A Championship in 2012, 2016, and 2017. In addition to these sports, Heritage Academy also offers baseball, soccer, softball, volleyball, tennis, and track and field. Non-athletic extracurricular opportunities include cheerleading, competitive dance, robotics, quiz bowl, various school clubs, and the spirit store.
