Denver, CO, August 15, 2013 -- New Heritage College School Director, Austin Morton, brings a wealth of experience to the Denver career college as he succeeds outgoing Director Jennifer Sprague, who will be heading up a new Heritage College campus in Cleveland, OH.

As Director, Morton will oversee all aspects of Heritage College operations in Denver. He will manage teams responsible for school functions, including admissions, financial aid, education, and career services.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to serve this community,” said Morton. “I feel both proud and humbled to accept this responsibility to help our students earn and achieve better futures for themselves and for their families.”

Heritage College opened its doors to the public in Denver in 1986. The school offers career training programs including X-Ray Medical Technician® – Medical Assistant, Esthetics, Dental Assistant and Dental Radiology, Personal Trainer, Pharmacy Technician, and Therapeutic Massage. Heritage also offers a Continuing Education course in Yoga Teacher Training, and welcomes members of the public for free yoga classes. More than 4,000 students have graduated from Heritage College in Denver.

Morton began his career with Heritage as a Career Services Coordinator at the Oklahoma City Heritage College campus. He then accepted a position as an Admissions Coordinator at the Denver campus. An energetic and highly charismatic professional, he rose rapidly through the ranks, becoming Senior Admissions Coordinator , Senior Admissions Manager, then Director of Admissions at the Heritage College campus in Wichita, KS. He was ultimately rewarded for his performance by being named Director of Heritage College in Little Rock, AR in 2010.

“Austin Morton is a leader, an educator and an amazing motivator,” said Heritage College President Shannon Beeler. “He has enjoyed tremendous professional success, but the thing that excites me most is the way he inspires students. He has a unique talent for helping them reach their full potential.”

Heritage College graduates can be found in hundreds of Denver healthcare and wellness businesses, hospitals, clinics, gyms, dentists’ offices, spas, and doctors’ offices. Denver residents who have been served by medical assistants, personal trainers, massage therapists, dental assistants, skin care specialists, or pharmacy technicians over the last few decades are likely to have benefited from the school’s high standards of educational professionalism.
