competition facilities. It’s a big upgrade, and we’re very excited.”

The new facilities will cover over 28 donated acres surrounding the current school located across

training and conditioning facilities, an outdoor stadium, and new athletic fields.

Phase II: Classroom expansion, including innovative lab spaces for science, technology,
engineering, art, and math.

Phase III: A performing arts center open to the community, a separate theatre and concert
hall, specialized spaces for performing arts education.

American Heritage School was developed in 1969 by parents of BYU High School Students, and
has grown into a Nationally-Accredited Private K-12 program where character, scholarship, and
liberty are its focus.
