               COMMEMORATING NATIONAL HERITAGE ACADEMIES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BILL HUIZENGA

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 14, 2025

  Mr. HUIZENGA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate National 
Heritage Academies, or NHA as they are known, as they celebrate their 
30th anniversary.
  It is critical that every child, regardless of income, background, or 
zip code, has access to a quality education. National Heritage 
Academies delivers on this goal!
  NHA prepares students from all walks of life for academic success 
while opening doors to trade schools, community colleges, and four-year 
universities.
  Since 1995, National Heritage Academies has offered quality education 
opportunities to more than 60,000 K-12 students. NHA runs over 100 
charter schools primarily in my home state of Michigan, but has also 
expanded into 8 additional states.
  One of those schools in Michigan is Vanderbilt Charter Academy in 
Holland, Michigan, where I served on the board for 5 years. Charter 
schools provide families with a tuition-free alternative that offers 
greater choice in the education their children receive.
  National Heritage Academies strives to put kids on a trajectory to 
reach their full potential and achieve success both in and out of the 
classroom.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating National Heritage 
Academies as they celebrate their 30th anniversary.
