Heartland High School

Heartland High School Central Ohio's first recovery high school for students in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. We are projected to open Fall 2018!

Students newly in recovery from substance use disorders often relapse upon leaving treatment and returning to their old school. A large influence on this pattern is that the most common triggers for adolescent relapse, school stress and the socialization process, are left unmitigated at the average school. The purpose of a recovery high school is to give students in recovery a high-quality education in a safe and supportive environment that is specifically conducive to substance use recovery. Heartland High School will fill this gap in recovery support services for young people, crafting Central Ohio’s first and only recovery school. Please join us in creating this life saving and life changing educational option for our community.
​
Projected to open as a chartered nonpublic (private) school located in Central Ohio, Heartland High School will receive and maintain a valid charter issued by the state board of education and will be able to award graduates with a state-recognized diploma. Providing students in recovery with a high-quality education hinges upon their continued recovery. By offering specialized recovery supports for adolescents, Heartland High School will enable each student to reach their full potential in both their education and recovery. Inclusion and accessibility is fundamental to the school’s vision, as we believe all adolescents in recovery deserve access to such specialized supports, regardless of their socioeconomic status, background, race, religious affiliation, gender expression, etc.

Our EmpowerED youth program is a partnership with local schools. This multi week program is a great way to build confidence, build trust and learn all about the human horse connection. Welcome back Heartland Highschool!

Thank you to ADAMH for sharing our story as well as Maddy’s story. Recovery gives students hope. Education gives them a future. At Heartland, we bring both together. ❤️

There was a time when Maddy would wake up early simply so she could start drinking earlier.

Today, the Heartland High School junior is looking toward a different future.

To recognize , ADAMH is sharing Maddy’s story and a closer look at how Heartland, Ohio’s only recovery-oriented high school, helps young people make recovery part of their everyday lives. Supported by ADAMH, Heartland gives students a place to learn, connect with peers and build a future in recovery.

We’re proud to share that Heartland High School was featured today by 10TV as part of The Big Picture and National Recovery Month.

One of our students stepped outside of her comfort zone to speak publicly about recovery and what being part of Heartland means to her. Being on camera and talking about recovery isn’t easy, and we’re proud of her for stepping up and representing Heartland.

A special thank you to 10TV for helping shine a light on recovery education and the work happening at Heartland.

Watch the segment below! ❤️

The principal of Heartland High School joined The Big Picture to talk about how the only recovery high school in Ohio helps students recover from substance abuse.

⛳️❤️ THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP FOR HEARTLAND! ❤️⛳️

Our 2nd Annual Heartland High School Golf Outing was one to remember!

Despite the rain, our golfers, sponsors, volunteers, friends, and supporters showed up for Heartland and we are incredibly grateful. Together, we raised more than $20,000 to support Heartland High School and the recovery-centered education and programming our students rely on.

That is what happens when a community comes together.

To every golfer who braved the weather, every volunteer who worked behind the scenes, and every sponsor who believed in our mission and invested in our students, THANK YOU. Your support does more than make an event possible. It helps us create opportunities, remove barriers, and continue walking alongside students as they work toward both recovery and graduation. We are so grateful for everyone who continues to believe in Heartland and the young people we serve.

And next year…we're hoping to order a little less rain! ☔️😂

Thank you for helping us Drive Hope and Change Lives.

Recovery is stronger when young people have the support they need to thrive.

Thanks to a $150,536 investment through our Regional Grant Cycle 1, Heartland High School's Heartland Alternative Peer Group & Outreach Program is helping more students build healthier, substance-free futures.

Since December 2024, Heartland has expanded outreach from just 4 schools to more than 28 school and community connections, opening the door to conversations about youth substance use that once rarely happened, and helping to grow student enrollment at Heartland.

At the same time, Heartland's Alternative Peer Group has provided a safe, supportive recovery community for adolescents and young adults, maintaining nearly 90% attendance while helping participants reduce substance use, strengthen positive peer relationships, and build lasting recovery.

This is what OneOhio investments are all about: empowering local organizations to expand access to prevention, treatment, and recovery support so more Ohioans can find hope and healing. 💚💙
