Check out a High School Transcript Sample so you can see what colleges like to see. We get requests for this from time to time on the IndianaHomeschoolers list, so here's a great sample of a High School Transcript homeschoolers can use when applying for college. This one comes from Taylor University, Fort Wayne. They love homeschoolers!

PEOPLE (Contacts)

Billie Faler is jumping on board as our Research Director to help IHEN gather together a top notch batch of facts so Hoosier Homeschoolers can load up their letters to the editor with those rare gems that some reporters just don't seem to have the time to look up themselves. :-) Write to Billie and send a citation her way!

We've added Meg Leader to our volunteer staff, as IHEN's Events Coordinator. She'll hopefully be helping IHEN coordinate events where we can meet IRL (In Real Life) and actually put some faces to all those IndianaHomeschoolers subscriber names we've been reading for years.

Coming Soon: Homeschool Research (Facts you can use!) Tired of looking for that link to that article that proved a point you're always trying to make? Yeah... same here. Well IHEN is gathering together a page of research, stats and all around good points to be made, about homeschooling. Write to our Research Staff if you have a particularly good citation you think we should add to the list.
