Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My homeschool group is hosting a "Homeschool High School" night to give parents information about homeschooling through high school. I want to give them a bibliography and resource list to go home with. So if you ladies were putting together such a book list to give to someone homeschooling high school for the first time, what would be on it?

Another great site that I didn't notice on your list is Homeschool Connections, which is run by Maureen Wittman. They have a nice selection of online homeschool classes for middle school and high school students.

Ah - can't believe I forgot Homeschool Connections - since my kids use it and I'm a subscriber!   

Can't believe I forgot OLOV either -since they just sent me a big box of literature to handout. Thanks for reminding me Martha and Monica!

I like this book a lot:
"High School @ Home"
by Diana Johnson

What about the CHC book "High School of Your Dreams"?

Purchased but haven't really looked at yet:
"Homeschooled and Headed for College"
by Denise Boiko
