You can help provide a life-changing education for a child in your community.
Heritage Christian School believes every child in Stark County deserves the kind of education experience that sets them on the path to success, grounded in the love of Jesus.
Did you know, while nearly 90% of our students attend Heritage Christian on scholarships, there is a financial gap that Heritage covers? We can’t cover this gap without our donors.
Every dollar donated makes a difference in the life of a Heritage Christian School child… the life of a child right here in Stark County! We couldn’t be more proud of the leaders we are raising up, or more thankful for the supporters who make it possible.

NEW! Give your tax dollars to Heritage
In addition to your regular giving, there is a brand new dollar-for-dollar Ohio tax credit option available. Individuals may give up to $750 each and get credit toward their state taxes. Those funds are used for scholarships for Heritage students. If you have to pay taxes either way, choose to help a local child with them!
AUDITORIUM PROJECT
Perhaps you are a parent of a student at HCS, an HCS alumnus, a Lincoln High alumnus, or someone who loves the arts and supports Christian education. No matter what connection you may have, your support of our Auditorium Project will help to restore our beautiful and massive auditorium for decades to come. Our lower bowl is used weekly for chapel services, as well as for student activities, plays, and concerts. Your donation will help repair the auditorium while providing you with an opportunity to honor someone with a commemorative plaque. We hope that you will join us in this venture as we preserve our great auditorium for generations of Heritage Christian students, as well as our community.
Partnership Program
In existence since 2015, the Heritage Christian School Partnership Program provides a wonderful opportunity for individuals, businesses, churches, and foundations to make a financial donation to the school and partner with a student or multiple students at the same time.
Who benefits from the Partnership Program?
-
The Student. Having a partner is very special to our students. A partner represents someone who cares about them and their education. Students often look at their partner as a mentor in their life.
-
The Partner. Participants in our program often speak about how rewarding it is to partner with a Heritage Christian student, learn about them and their school, and be a positive role model in their lives. Many partners have also commented as to how being a partner has had such a positive impact on their lives.
-
The Teacher. Our teachers get to know a partner who has a child in their classroom. They understand the difference a partner can make in a student’s life.
-
The School. Heritage Christian School serves families from urban Canton and the surrounding areas. Nearly 90% of our students attend Heritage Christian through Ohio EdChoice scholarships because they are assigned to a public school that is designated as underperforming or their family meets poverty criteria. The state of Ohio pays Heritage Christian School a set amount for each qualifying student. With that scholarship, the student attends without paying tuition. Unfortunately, the amount of scholarship funds Heritage Christian School receives from the state for a student does not cover the school’s cost to educate that student. Thus, there is a financial gap of approximately $3,500 per student and the school must raise those funds. Your financial donation to the Partnership Program helps to close those gaps and provides a student with an excellent education at a quality school.
