Heritage High School Supports Military Families in Palm Bay

Palm Bay families serving in the military now have a dedicated point of contact and resources at Heritage High School. The school welcomes military families joining the Panther community, aiming to ease the transition for students arriving from any location.

Upon arrival, military-connected students meet with a school counselor who reviews transcripts, answers questions and helps create a personalized class schedule. Afterward, a current student leads a guided tour of the school, introducing new students to the Panther community, traditions and daily life.

The school has established Ms. Shammeeza Jameer as its Military Liaison. Families can reach Ms. Jameer by phone at 321-722-4178, extension 29028, or by email at [email protected]. Heritage High School emphasizes its commitment to welcoming and honoring military families for their contributions to Brevard County.

Heritage High School provides resources for military families, including support for transition planning, academic assistance, athletics information, community resources and mental health services. The school counseling department and Exceptional Student Education Services (ESE and 504) are also available. The school offers educational opportunities for military children and hosts events tailored for military families. Families can contact the "Guiding Star" for assistance as they settle in Palm Bay.
