The Heritage History
Decades of Treatment Excellence
Jerry Spanos began Heritage School, Inc. 37 years ago and is currently known as The Heritage Community. He recognized the importance of relationships in his own experiences and hoped to be able to pay it forward and help others heal.
Later, Jerry converted Heritage School, Inc. into a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. He wanted to ensure that all who worked for the company would be focused on treatment and not on the bottom line.

In more recent years, we have established two academies under the The Heritage Community umbrella in hopes of being better able to focus on each students needs. These distinctive and clinically driven programs are designed to focus on specific diagnoses and behavior so that the individualized treatment of every student is successful. The Elevate Academy focuses on trauma and those dealing with mental illness, while the Spark Academy focuses on those on the neurodiverse spectrum. Both academies have an the most comprehensive treatment modalities and experientials available in one place at their disposal to ensure the best possible treatment for your son or daughter.
