We are excited to announce that the 3rd Annual Lebanon Volleyball Camp will be held June 8–11 from 5:00–7:00 PM in the high school gym.

This camp is open to all students entering grades 5th–12th for the 2026–2027 school year. We also welcome participants from outside the Lebanon school district, so please feel free to share this opportunity with friends, family, or anyone interested in developing their volleyball skills this summer.

We are especially excited to share that we have partnered with the McKendree University Women’s Volleyball Team, whose players and coaches will be in attendance each day to assist with drills and provide valuable instruction and insight.

Last year, we welcomed over 30 campers, and we are looking forward to an even bigger and better experience this summer!

Thank you,

On this last day of March, I would like to take a moment to celebrate National Athletic Training Month. Here at LCUSD#9 we are fortunate enough to have an incredible athletic trainer, Karla Pace! Since her arrival, Karla has helped transform so much in our athletic department and with our teams. Karla is amazing with our athletes. She makes sure that they are cared for and given the best treatment to get them safely back on the field or floor. Our athletic programs and student athletes can't thank Karla enough for all the hard work she has put in and going above and beyond to help them! Next time you see Karla, please thank her for all that she does for us! Thank you Karla, you are the best!
