Guidelines for Community Partners

Lebanon High School looks forward to creating community partnerships that provide alternatives for students to pursue their learning and interests outside of the school grounds. We really appreciate volunteers stepping forward to help educate our high school students. These Extended Learning Opportunities offer benefits to all involved:

For Students:

  • Personalized learning plans with high expectations
  • Real-world exposure to experts in their area of interest
  • Enhanced understanding of themselves as independent learners
  • Authentic performance-based learning and evaluation

 

For Community Partners:

  • Opportunity to share passion and expertise
  • Engagement with motivated students
  • Community recognition
  • Development of future citizens

 

For the School:

  • Expanded opportunities to offer students
  • Enhanced capacity to respond to students’ learning styles
  • Links to the community and business partnerships
  • Real-world relevance, rigor, and relationships

 

Note: The safety of our students is one of our primary responsibilities, and to meet that end, we must ensure that all community placements adhere to our policies. Please see below for applicable School Board policies regarding Extended Learning Opportunities in the community. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
