Annual District Profile

In spring 2019, we launched Warrior Stack, an athletic training program for students in grades 7-12 that focuses on agility, speed, mobility and flexibility in a student's sport. With the partnerships of LHS coaches, athletes are provided opportunities to embrace challenges, both physically and mentally and become more educated on their fitness, recovery and sportsmanship. Student athletes can participate in the Warrior Stack program seasonally or throughout the calendar year.
Beginning in the fall of 2018, we began piloting a Spanish immersion program in first grade. In a language immersion program, the target language is acquired through content instruction, not direct language instruction. Students in the program receive science and math instruction in Spanish. Lebanon is one of only 7 districts in the state of Ohio to have a language immersion program, and Bowman Primary is one of only 11 school buildings in Ohio to have a language immersion program.
