The Heritage Conference approved Cambria Heights’ request to join the conference in a vote taken Monday. Here is the full release from the Heritage Conference.
On Monday, February 3 the Heritage Conference voted to approve the request of Cambria Heights to become a member of the Heritage Conference. Cambria Heights will begin competition in the Heritage Conference starting with the 2021-2022 school year.
Heritage Conference President Jody Rainey commented, “The addition of Cambria Heights will assure the longevity of our conference and enable us to continue to meet our mission of providing positive and enriching experiences for students within our member schools in our core focus areas of Academics, Athletics and the Arts. I am pleased that our member schools viewed the addition of Cambria Heights from a more global lens and not solely from a singular athletic lens. With any changeHERI there are pros and cons for both sides. In this case, both parties saw many more positives than negatives and we are thrilled to add Cambria Heights to our conference.
Ken Kerchenske, principal of Cambria Heights High School, mentioned that his Board of School Directors looked at the totality of what the Heritage Conference has to offer the students of Cambria Heights in voting 8-0 to apply for membership in the conference last week. The district looks forward to forging relationships with other member schools and participating fully in the Heritage’s athletics and other competitions.
