Lucas Ness

Lucas Ness is HCA’s Elementary Principal and Physical Education teacher. Lucas has served in numerous academic leadership roles locally, and will receive his principal license at the end of 2024. He came highly recommended and has shown key values that make him an excellent candidate for our school’s principal, including integrity, initiative, a strong work ethic, a love for Jesus and a love for students.

Lucas is an alumni of HCA, and thrilled to be coming back to serve as the elementary school principal. He graduated from the University of Northern Colorado where he received his education degree and has been teaching and leading since. He has had the opportunity to teach in Arizona on the Navajo reservation, in Barbados where he was also the director of students, and most recently at RCS in Loveland where he taught elementary and middle school classes as well as worked in leadership and coaching roles. His wife and he are blessed with two children ages 3 and 4 as well as one on the way, and being able to have the opportunity to send them to Heritage is a prayer they have had for a long time.  In his spare time he enjoy all things outdoors including running, camping, hunting, and fishing.
