The Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians sponsors an Irish History Contest each year where students are able to explore our rich history and possibly earn themselves a cash prize.   This contest has a different theme each year and is open to students in grades 6-8 and 9-12.   The 2025 theme is The Irish and the American Revolution.  Perfect for any student learning about American history this school year.
