Awesome grads!!

During Heritage High School's Battle of the Bell Spirit Week our Scots alumni had the best matching 'fits for Twin/Group Day! We can't imagine a better look to share 🧡❤

And, it was perfect timing to share their Maryville College connection during College App Month (September), encouraging Heritage students to consider MC.
