News and Announcements

Concordia Lutheran High School is welcoming its newest class of Honors Academy students this fall. These new freshmen are: Grant Allman, Isabelle Burns, Isaiah Castleman, Bernadette Chesebrough, Bradan Corbett, Nicholas Jones, Noah Kim, Hudson Kraft, Elyse Metz, and Beata Peperkorn.

This year’s marching show is based on the familiar hymn, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” While this hymn isn’t typically played in a pompous manner, it is an absolutely stunning hymn with lots of emotion. In the design process, we found a handful of parallels between a fountain and our faith - literally and figuratively.

Amt pulled together two of his neighbors, Ed Reitenour and Tim Rupley (both of whom had no prior connection to Concordia); Tom Steinhauser, a friend from his same graduating class in 1964; and Steve Schnorr, a 1974 Concordia graduate and a friend of Eugene Parker, of whom the gym floor is named. Together, they began the hard work of cutting, sanding, and grinding the pieces of the original floor to share with others who spent so much time on the gym floor over the years. The pieces are now for sale.

In AP Literature, we sometimes refer to the different “lenses” of literary analysis. A reader analyzes the same piece of literature differently by looking at it through a psychological lens, a historical lens, or a Biblical lens, for example. It is my hope that our students will grow in their abilities to view literature and life through a Biblical lens.

Calling all pin-up gals & fly guys! This year’s annual Cadets and Cadence Dinner Auction on Dec. 3 will step back to the 1940s, a time of sophisticated fashion and glamorous films, of USO tours and the sounds of big bands.

Mrs. Rhonda Freeman is not a new face at Concordia, but she is one of our newest teachers this year. She is teaching this year after volunteering at the high school since 2018.

Mrs. Bethany Fonseca started this year as a new Spanish Teacher. She graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Grace College in 2019.

Vicar Kevin McGladdery is teaching theology this year while Pastor Hoham is away. He is currently halfway through the M.Div program at Concordia Theological Seminary Fort Wayne.

Mrs. Jeanine Tietz is our new English teacher for the 2022-23 school year. She is most loving being able to incorporate faith into her lessons plans after working at a public school for a number of years.
