News and Announcements

I think that we can all agree that the end of the 2019-2020 school year was rough. It's safe to say that 2020-2021 was hard, with everyone in masks, everything regimented, anxiety heightened, rules constantly changing, uncertainty, and even losing the perks of eating lunch anywhere in the building. Even after all that, I would have to say that 2021-2022 has been my most challenging year as a teacher.

Concordia Lutheran High School senior Michael Habegger was honored today with the Richard W. Moellering Senior Barnabas Award. Established by the Class of 1986, the award recognizes a senior who exemplifies encouragement and servanthood.

Each year, our Honors Academy seniors put together unique projects as a culmination to their Honors Academy program. Please save the date for these presentations.

Concordia Lutheran High School’s JROTC Robotics team took home the Excellence Award for the second year in a row at the 2022 VEX Robotics World Championships. This is the top award at the competition.

Congrats to the Class of 2022! We have 158 members in the senior class this year.

As the year draws to an end, the Art room is a flurry of activity. Our AP students are feverishly finishing portfolios to send off to the College Board for judging. AP students spend the entire year answering an essential question of their choosing; the topic can be anything they would like, but they must investigate that topic through their artwork. Students connect the processes and materials they use in their artworks to the idea they are exploring.

The A Cappella Choir from Concordia Lutheran High School is headed to the 2022 Indiana Choir State Finals! They were selected from qualifying regional contests as one of the top 16 choirs in the state of Indiana! They will compete in the State Finals Choir Championships at Pike High School in Indianapolis on Saturday, May 7. Concordia’s performance time is 3:10pm.

Congratulations to Reganne Ackmann who signed to row at the University of Michigan for their rowing team next year. Awesome job, Cadet!

When Environmental Science is what you teach, every day is Earth Day. Every day is a day to tend to the plants in the greenhouse, gather litter that’s blown up against the Our Creator’s Classroom fence, give feedback on students’ article reflections, find a pertinent video about a career that overlaps with the environment to increase relevancy for students, research current statistics to keep notes up to date, and refine class activities to make the most of every moment. And it’s fitting that every day feels like Earth Day because every day is a day that we impact the earth.
