We are proud to highlight the schools from Warren County that participated in the program: Kings High School, Lebanon High School, Little Miami Middle School, Loveland High School, Loveland Middle School, Mary Haven Youth Detention Center, Mason Middle School, St. Margaret of York, and Springboro High School.
