Huntsville Homeschool Extension for Alabama Teens (HHEAT)is a "currently under construction" homeschool support group for parents and teens who homeshool for non religious reasons.

According to Alabama law, all homeschoolers operate under the protection of a church cover. This is not that cover...simply a support group for those of us under a cover simply because the law demands it.
HHEAT was founded in June 2005 out of a need for an open and welcoming group for any and all homeschooling families in the Huntsville area to meet and discuss regardless of ethnicity, faith, lifestyle or home-schooling style.

The primary focus of the group is to provide social opportunities for teens and their families. We know that the entire family is involved in schooling, not just the primary caregiver. Our on-line goal is to have an open forum to discuss any subject pertinent to home-schooling with tolerance, dignity and respect. Our off-line goal is to be able to gather and meet the social needs of our children.

We will have trips, activities,parties, seasonal gatherings and share our talents with other families. It is my hope that everyone will contribute and host activities to make this group self-sufficient. If you have a strength, share it with us! If you have a weakness, ask for help. We are all here to support each other as we guide our teens into adulthood. This is your community, use it!

Messages will not be moderated but repect and tolerance will be demanded at all times. No soliciting please(yet!)
