Heritage Hall School is a coeducational, college-prep school located in North Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. An independent private school not affiliated with any religious organization, the school is open to students of any race, religion, nationality, or ethnic origin.

Heritage Hall was founded in 1969 in a church basement around the time of "white flight" when parents did not want their children attending segregated schools. Though Heritage Hall was founded during the integration of Oklahoma City public schools, the school has been racially diverse from the beginning. [cite news
