HERO of Oklahoma is a voluntary, not-for-profit network of support groups and
families dedicated to providing a quality education for their children in a home
environment. Respecting that parents who choose to educate their children at
home come from diverse backgrounds, HERO of Oklahoma and its group affiliates
have neither membership restrictions, nor any official political, philosophical,
or religious position; nor does HERO maintain any official stance on any other
issue, other than the belief that parents and guardians should remain able to
choose home education as a legal alternative in a child’s education.
Article III: Purpose
HERO of Oklahoma's primary purpose is to provide information concerning the
many local and state educational resources available to Oklahoma home educators.
We strive to work with other established networks in Oklahoma to provide
information and resources for all homeschoolers in Oklahoma. As a network of
homeschooling families and support groups, HERO of Oklahoma also serves the
purpose of helping Oklahoma homeschooling families connect with each other.

volunteers. HERO volunteers agree to abide by HERO of Oklahoma's bylaws.

discretion. The domain name and website including content are the property of
HERO of Oklahoma.
