Heritage High School, established in 1996, is a public school in Newport News, Virginia. The school, whose colors are maroon and silver, is home to the Heritage Hurricanes. The school is also home to the Newport News Public Schools Technology and University magnet. The school is located in the South East End area of the city (Downtown) at 5800 Marshall Avenue. The current principal is Michael Nichols.

The Class of 2007 will be the school's tenth graduating class and the first without the original principal.
