A group of 32 Concordia Lutheran High School students will head to Washington, D.C., later this month in support of pro-life in the annual March for Life.

At the start of this school year, thirty-five (35) students joined the CLHS DECA chapter. Twenty-seven (27) of those students, consisting of 5 seniors, 7 juniors, 7 sophomores and 8 freshmen, are doing DECA for the first time! This is Exciting! This is Daring! Trying something new! High School is a great time to do such things! But you may be wondering yourself … what is DECA?

The following students have been named to the Honor Roll and Honorable Mention list for Fall 2022.

Happy New Year! Each year the challenge is to decide what I should share in this blog post. This fall, we started a new course at Concordia, and I think it is very much worth sharing with you all.

Making a New Year's Resolution is popular in our culture. A new year is a time for a fresh start, and a new resolve to change something for the better fits well. Of course, we all know that those resolutions can be hard to keep, and we slip back into the "old ways" oh so easily!

We’ve reached halftime of the 2022-2023 academic school year. Just like an athlete who has poured themself out over the first half of play, our students and faculty have tackled a rigorous curriculum, assisted each other and our community in acts of service, and scored their very best on final exams. Now it's time to rest, regroup, and reflect before we start the second semester.

Arguments happen in my classroom every day. Students state strong claims that others in the room vehemently disagree with. Emotions are barely controlled while students struggle to wait their turn to answer questions like this one: Is cereal soup?
