Heritage High School was a public high school located in the northeast area known as Clifton Park of Baltimore, Maryland. It served Baltimore City high schoolers from 2004 to 2015.
Founded in 2004, established as an expansion school and as a result of the breakup of Lake Clifton Eastern High School. It is currently categorized within District 6, "neighborhood high schools": a comprehensive high school. It officially specializes in the focus of three career and technology completer preparation programs: Business, Management & Finance; Human Resource Services; and Law.
Lake Clifton Eastern High School has existed on the campus since the early 1970s until it was closed down in 2005, and the smaller schools that were on the campus replaced the large school. They are still faced with problems common to underfunded urban schools, such as academic performance and discipline. The same problems led to Doris M. Johnson High School being recommend for closure in 2010 and Heritage has been identified by the Maryland State Department of Education for school improvement in many years.
Founded in 2004 by Karen Lawrence, established as an expansion school originally known as Harford Institute during the time and as a result of the breakup of Lake Clifton Eastern High School.

After the following school year, the school was relocated to the Lake Clifton Campus with an initial enrollment of 550 students of grades 9th through 11th for the 2004-2005 school year, where it was the last year of the graduating class and existence of Lake Clifton Eastern High School.
