Red and Black

"The Traditions Begin." Even though we are entering our nineth year we are still building traditions. It is our hope that we are creating traditions and a  foundation of excellence which will insure that Colleyville Heritage is on  "bedrock" which will serve this community for decades to come.

When the school opened in 1996 the enrollment was 1,350 and now over 2,200. Currently, we are classified as a 5-A school by the University Interscholastic League (UIL).

School starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:35 p.m. The school uses an "A B Block" schedule (current schedule). This means each student takes 8 classes. Four classes, periods 1-4, meet on "A" day and four classes, periods 5-8, meet on "B" day. Periods 3 and 7 are longer as it is during those periods that  students go to lunch. You should report to your 3 and 7 period in order to learn  the time you are to go to lunch. 

No. The school uses a "closed" lunch system which means all students are  expected to be in the "Panther Den" (cafeteria) during their lunch period. Food is not to be consumed elsewhere in the school. The cafeteria provides a wide variety of choices to meet different tastes. The cost of a student lunch is $2.00 and many things can be purchased a la carte. If you wish to prepay for your meals online with a credit card, you can do so by clicking here. This may take 48 hours to process.

Please have your parent or guardian call the attendance office:

Students with last names beginning with A-L 817 305 4718
Students with last names beginning with M-Z 817 305-4720

on morning of the absence. If your parent or guardian has not  called the school, you must report to the Attendance Office between 8:00 and  8:30am to clear the absence. You will need to present the attendance clerk with a note stating the  reason for the absence, the date you were absent, your name, and the signature  of your parent or guardian.   More detailed information regarding attendance is contained in the  Student Parent Handbook prepared by the GCISD or on the website here and should be carefully reviewed.

At Colleyville Heritage we value each moment of instructional time, thus you need to be in class on time with all necessary materials ready to learn.  The first two times this occurs each six weeks, there are no consequences other than the activities you will miss while not in class. If you  are tardy a third time you will receive a two hour detention and the consequences will increase with each subsequent tardy.

If you must leave campus during the school day you must present a note from your parent to receive early dismissal and sign out in the  attendance office before leaving campus. If you do not sign out, you are  considered truant. A note from your parent is required.

Make-up work must be completed and turned in by the next class day. (You have one class rotation for every class missed.) For example: Fred was absent on Monday, an A day. He returns to school on Wednesday; an A day. He has until Friday, the next A day, to complete and turn in his work.

Students are expected to wear a T shirt, shorts, socks, and athletic shoes.  The T shirts are standard and can be purchased from the physical education instructor. Students may wear their own shorts, socks, and shoes.

Yes. Most students will be assigned a locker. For security reasons you must not  share the combination with anyone.

Go to the teacher you have that period and they will give you a pass to go to the  nurse's office. Go directly to the nurse's office. Do not leave school without the  permission of the nurse and checking out in the Attendance Office. 

Click here to download a "Request to See a Counselor" form or get one from the Counseling Center during a passing period. Fill it out and leave it with the Counseling Secretary. Do tell the secretary if it is an emergency. Your counselor will send for you as soon as possible.

You will find that the school principal and the assistant principals are very "visible", visiting classes, being in the halls, and Panther Den, and attending school activities. You are encouraged to introduce yourself and never hesitate to approach them and ask a question or just let them know how things are going for you. If you prefer a more private time, do not hesitate to go to the  Administrative Assistant for the principal or assistant principals and make an appointment. Such appointments are considered a priority by the administrators.

A complete list of rules and regulations can be found in the Student Code of  Conduct which is adopted by the Board of Trustees and governs the behavior of all students in the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District. It is a document both you and your parents should review. You will find the rules and regulations to be basically "common sense", things most of us already  know and do, things which are designed for our safety and welfare. To help you immediately, the major rule you should know is simply "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." If each of us will think of this rule before we speak or before we act, Colleyville Heritage will truly be the  outstanding school we want it to be.

If a student is to get a total high school education, he or she must be involved in the classroom and in the activities programs. Each student is encouraged to  become involved in at least one extra curricular activity. Through participation in school activities students can learn skills that will help in all facets of life while creating lifelong memories.  A separate flyer contains a list of all school activities. This flyer is available in  the Counseling Center. Interested students should contact the coach or  sponsor directly to find out how to become involved. Students should also  listen to the daily announcements or visit the website for information about school activities. 

Grade cards are issue during the 2nd or 6th periods on the Thursday following the end of the 6th weeks grading period. End of year grade cards are mailed  approximately two weeks after the end of school.

Absolutely! At Colleyville Heritage the involvement of parents is viewed  as one of the key ingredients to creating the outstanding school we are trying to build. We feature a very active Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA). The Athletic Booster Club, as well as the Football Booster Club, is  committed to supporting student athletes and their coaches in all sports. There  are also a variety of parent booster clubs which support specialized activities  such as cheerleading, drill team, band, and choir to give a few examples. Be  sure and join the PTSA as they support the whole school and if you have a  son or daughter involved in athletics become active in the Athletic Booster  Club, or Football Booster Club if appropriate. If your son or daughter is involved  in a more specialized activity learn about their booster club and become involved.  By doing so you will support the school and most importantly send a powerful  message to your son or daughter. 

If you are going to compete in competitive athletics or activities you will  need a physical exam conducted by a licensed physician. You can get the necessary form from the receptionist or the athletic trainers.

Instructional time and academic achievement are valued at Colleyville Heritage High School. Academic achievement is recognized in a variety of ways to  include: Academic Letters, A Honor Roll, A-B Honor Roll, Principal's Merit Award,  Principal's Scholar Award, Texas Scholars, Departmental Awards, President's Academic Excellence Award, UIL Scholar Awards, Tandy Scholar Awards,  National Merit Commended, Semi-Finalist, and Finalist Awards, and a variety of awards and scholarships presented by various school and community  organizations. Separate Honors and Awards assemblies are held for under classman and seniors in the spring of the year.

Parking passes and student identification cards can be purchased during Registration in August. The cost is $50.00 per semester and can be purchased in the office.   A license plate number must be provided to get a parking permit. All students are required to purchase an ID card. 

Fill out a transcript request form in the Counseling Center at least 24 hours prior to needing the transcript. There is a processing fee of $1.00. You need to be 18 years of age or have your parent or guardian sign the request  form.
