We would like to take a minute and congratulate our 3 junior high bowlers who bowled this past Saturday in the SIJHSAA State Tournament at St Clair Bowl in O'Fallon.
8th grader Ava Garbe was our highest finisher as an individual bowler. She place 17th out of 80 individuals, just missing 15ht place by 13 pins which would have earned her a medal. Ava finished with a 159 average for 6 games that day. The state champion was from Smithton, Annmarie Duff, who won by 43 pins with a 213 average.
We had 2 qualifiers for the boys, 8th grader Colby Casperson and 6th grader Masen Davis.
Colby finished 29th out of 80 qualifying individuals with a 173 average for 6 games. Masen finished in a tie for 55th out of 80 bowlers with a 157 average.
Good job bowlers and our coaches. We are very proud of our Greyhounds!

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!
Additional details, including camp flyers and registration information, are linked here.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you,
Doug Becker

Congratulations to Blake Goetter for receiving his State FFA Degree! The State FFA Degree is the highest degree awarded by the Illinois FFA Association. In order to receive your state degree, you have to keep exceptional records of your FFA/SAE activities, participate in community service, and display leadership within the organization. This award is awarded to less than 3% of the state's total FFA membership. This is Lebanon's first state degree recipient since we rechartered in 2020. Blake will be recognized on stage at the Illinois State Convention in June. We are so incredibly proud of you Blake!
