Jeanne Domenech
Jeanne Domenech, mother of four, started homeschooling in 1986. Her three oldest children have successfully navigated the college admissions process, and in 2002 she helped her daughter establish NCAA eligibility for Division I Women's Crew at the University of Virginia. Now, child number three is working on his eligibility for Division I Swimming at George Mason University, under the new, much improved regulations for homeschoolers. Jeanne hopes her comments on Home School Heartbeat will encourage other homeschoolers to pursue their athletic as well as their academic goals.
