About LAH

OUR STORY

Over 25 Years ago (1990) a small group met together for a parent support group.  This group provided field trips, some sports, a newsletter, a yearbook, a graduation, and the still popular performance night.  This first organized group in Lebanon, Mo was the HOPE group.

As the need for a co-op arose in 1999, Shared Learning came to birth. The first classes met with about 35 members in attendance.  Shared Learning bloomed and from it Fine Arts began.

With the growing number of homeschoolers, the request for organized sports was on the horizon and our Athletic Department stepped up to do a fine job of fulfilling that need.

In 2002, with so many opportunities for homeschoolers being offered in Lebanon a need to unify brought about the Lebanon Area Homeschoolers Inc., better known as LAH.  Some reorganization of the member groups took place.  The Journalism Department, Clubs, and Field Trips / Activities were divided into their own departments to allow the other departments to focus on their specialties. Seven departments made up LAH. They included: HOPE, Shared Learning, Fine Arts, Athletics, Journalism, Clubs, and Field Trips – Activities.  Each department selected a representative and those representatives made up the Lebanon Area Homeschoolers Board of Directors.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The LAH Board is made up of six individuals, one representative from each department.  Board members serve a three-year rotating term. Each department representative is selected by the group or groups they represent.  LAH does not govern the activities of participating groups or organizations.  LAH board coordinates activities and servers to unite the departments' individual efforts.
