Athletics
Lebanon High School currently offers 11 men's sports and 11 women's sports. The athletic program is a member of the Greater Western Ohio Conference (GWOC), which consists of teams in the Greater Dayton area. The Warriors are currently in the South Division along with Springboro, Miamisburg, Fairborn, and Xenia. From 1997 to 2003, Lebanon participated in the Fort Ancient Valley Conference.
Athletic Facilities
- The football stadium and track, now called Atrium Field at VanDeGrift Stadium, is located at the site of the old high school which is now Lebanon Junior High School. It has been the home of the Warriors for over 35 years and seats 2,600. The complex was greatly renovated in 2008 with artificial turf replacing the traditional grass field. This renovation was made possible through a donation from the Atrium Hospital and the efforts of the Onward Lebanon Project. In the next phase, they plan on adding more bleachers and renovating the concessions, the entrance and the bathrooms.
- The baseball stadium, Warrior Field, is also located at the site of the old high school, Lebanon Junior High School on Miller Road. It is considered one of the nicer high school baseball facilities in Southwest Ohio. The field house directly behind home plate holds concessions, equipment, bathroom, and press box facilities.
- The softball field is also located at the Lebanon Junior High School location on Miller Road.
- Both the men's and women's basketball teams play at the high school building in an arena that seats nearly 2,200. The floor was designed and painted by art teachers Rob Hodges, Tom Russell and the late Gary Simendinger.
- The wrestling team at Lebanon has their own practice facility at the high school and dual matches are held in the wrestling room. However, tournaments are held in the auxiliary gym.
- Both the men's and women's tennis teams practice and play on the tennis courts at the high school. There are five tennis courts that serve the men in the spring and the women in the fall.
- Shaker Run Golf Course is the home of the men's varsity golf teams. Shaker Run is located on Greentree Road on the outskirts of Lebanon near Middletown. Harmon Golf Club in downtown Lebanon is home to both the men's junior varsity team and the women's team.
- The LHS Men's Soccer Program began in 1981 as a club sport under former head coach and former Spanish teacher, Jorge Castenada. It was recognized as a school sport after the 1982 season and officially began as a Varsity sport in 1983. The Lebanon Soccer Program, both mens and women's, play at the Atrium Field at VanDeGrift Stadium.
- The High School Varsity bowling team started in the 2008-2009 season. They are coached by Coach Ronald Volmering, who formerly taught history at Lebanon Junior High School. The home bowling center to the Warriors is Strike Zone Lanes in Middletown.
Rivals
- Currently, Lebanon's biggest rivalry is with Springboro High School. The Warriors and Panthers constantly fight for supremacy in the GWOC South Division.
- The Warriors also have intense rivalries dating back to the 1970s with the Mason Comets, Edgewood Cougars, Franklin Wildcats, and Kings Knights. However, due to Lebanon changing from the Mid-Miami League to the Fort Ancient Valley Conference back to the Mid-Miami League and now to the Greater Western Ohio Conference, these schools are not played every year.
