News and Announcements

The CLHS String Orchestra has just concluded the first half of the school year! We spent the first semester working toward two big concerts.

Myrthe (Harkenrider) Flasch, a graduate from the Class of 2014, saw Church Work as a calling. But not just as a calling in her field but also in her home. Read more in our Alumni Spotlight Q&A.

SFC Al Conrad is a JROTC Army Instructor at CLHS. He is a 1977 graduate and his whole family are also graduates. He is retiring this year after serving CLHS for nearly 30 years.

“What are you waiting for?” This question can be interpreted and used in many instances. It could be used as an encouragement to a friend struggling with a decision that we think is incredibly simple. It could be addressed to the driver in front of us who isn’t driving as quickly or correctly as we think they should be (I am guilty of this occasionally), or it could be asked of us all during this Advent season. What, exactly, are we waiting for?

For many Concordia alumni, serving the church after graduation is a natural transition. Many serve as pastors, deaconesses, music leaders, or Lutheran school teachers (many even back at CLHS). It’s truly a calling, and they see Concordia as laying that foundation for their future career.

At Concordia, the rifle team has more than a 100-year history, dating back to 1906 with the original Concordia College. From the official dedication of the high school in 1935 to new buildings in 1952 and 1963, the rifle range has been a staple for CLHS, including earning multiple City, State and National Titles over the years. This fall, that range is seeing new life.

The familiar words of Luke 2 famously illustrate all the happenings around Jesus’ birth. The angel’s announcement to the shepherds is truly a proclamation for all of humanity of the true meaning for the season, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

247 boxes of gifts. 4 bikes. 16 families. A guitar, a sled, and a Little Tikes Basketball Hoop… and a very Merry Christmas.

Concordia Lutheran High School will celebrate the dedication of its new gym floor, the Eugene Parker Court, on Friday, December 9.

Well, here we are – Thanksgiving feasts have come and gone, and Christmas is now in our sights.  If ever there was a time of the school year when the days seem to have less than 24 hours each and the weeks, I’m sure, don’t all have 7 days in them, it’s December.
