News and Announcements

The Class of 1986 established the Barnabas Award to be annually presented to a member of the current senior class. Barnabas was a supporter and fellow missionary with St. Paul. “Barnabas” means “encourager” and that is what he was. His mission and ministry was to be of service to his fellowman. He lived his faith and was dedicated to bolstering and encouraging others in theirs. His actions spoke clearly of what he professed to be.

As of this week one of our own students, junior Sarai Jeronimo, received word that she won a National Medal for her photography work. Only 3,000 works receive a National Medal, which places her within the top 1% of all submissions! We are so proud of Sarai and wanted to take this opportunity to share in congratulating her on her amazing accomplishment.

Today, Governor Holcomb made the announcement that Indiana schools will be closed for the remainder of the school year. We understand that this news is sad, especially for our seniors.  We are certainly in uncharted territory but we are working to answer what this will mean for the rest of the semester, especially for graduation and graduation requirements. We will continue to provide updates as we receive written guidance from the Indiana Department of Education in light of this situation.

We are working to create a new brand for our athletics, and we want your help! We need your help in creating a mascot. We want you to tell us what our "Cadet" should look like.

In support of and in compliance with Governor Holcomb's March 23rd “Stay at Home” order school offices will be closed from Wednesday, March 25 through Monday, April 6.  Only essential workers will be allowed on campus for essential duties.

My husband is pastor at Zion Lutheran Church in Ridgeville Corners, Ohio. I live with him in the parsonage next to the church, and before all of the recent changes would drive about 50 miles to school each day. Now, I teach online from a spare bedroom upstairs in the parsonage, until we are allowed to be together at school once again.

Just a couple of weeks ago we were in our normal routines. We were going to work, walking to classes, playing sports, going to the gym, and running children to all of their activities. We were active. That all changed very suddenly. All of our normal routines have been replaced with virtual classrooms, Netflix, and wrestling strangers for eggs, milk, and toilet paper at Meijer. Our base activity level has decreased. Have you adjusted for that?

With Governor Holcomb’s announcement that schools will be closed through May 1, we will continue our 4-day/week Remote Learning schedule. Classes will meet Monday-Thursday, allowing a 3-day weekend. Concordia will observe Spring Break March 27-April 5. Classes resume on Monday, April 6. Note that Monday, April 13 is now a school day and that Friday, April 17 is a weekend date.

We wanted to make you aware that Governor Holcomb has made the decision to close schools (both private and public) through May 1. During this time, we will continue remote learning. We have begun planning for the additional 3 weeks we will be doing remote learning, and will share when we are able.
