News and Announcements

The apostle Paul begins or states in many of his letters appreciation, encouragement, and thanks to those in fellowship and support of the ministry he was called to do as a servant of Jesus Christ. With Paul as a mentor, and in my role of ministry at Concordia, I too say, “thanks” while asking for your prayerful support for our school community during our accreditation visit later this month.

While it is important to me that my students learn how to write, read, and speak well, those are not the most vital lessons I hope they will carry with them after graduation. Realizing the enormous amount of stress and responsibility many of our students carry (especially the juniors and seniors who face college and career decisions and keeping up with application and scholarship deadlines), I began sharing another mantra in the last few years.

Humor is very subjective, which is also why there are so many different types and styles of humor to choose from. Some people love physical comedy while others despise anything that could be considered slapstick.

Concordia Lutheran High School welcomed eight new students to the Honors Academy for this spring. These new freshmen are: Madi Dellinger, Andy Deng, Evan Droste, Mike Jessup, Nolan Labahn, Owen McConkey, Mackensie Neumann and Gwyndalyn Widener.

Concordia Lutheran High School is hosting summer camps for all ages this summer. Camps range from athletics to band to robotics and everything in between including new camps in art, Spanish, track and sign language. Concordia is also offering summer classes for all area students in grades 8-12. Registration is now open, and online registration is now available this year. For more information and to register, visit www.clhscadets.com/summer.

Through the help of more than 70 volunteers and more than $25,000 in donations and donated time and goods, the Concordia Lutheran High School wrestling room recently received a much-needed upgrade.

As we all prepare for the start of the new calendar year, we are already looking ahead to the next school year and which courses students would like to take.

Congratulations to CLHS freshman, Andy Deng, (and partner Hailey Sundstrom), who won the Juvenile Pair Champions at the 2019 U.S. Figure Skating Championships a week ago! Andy also placed 9th in the Intermediate Men's Single's division.

Join Concordia Lutheran High School students for a unique theater experience at 7 p.m. Feb. 9 as they debut never-before-seen plays that didn’t exist 24 hours earlier.

Perspective can change a lot. With the impending polar vortex barreling our way, weather forecasters have us on edge with every update. People are preparing for the end of the world. As a Geography teacher, I can’t help but chuckle a little at our limited perspective. In Yakutsk, Russia in Eastern Siberia, the warmest it will be in the next 10 days is -25 degrees Fahrenheit! That’s the warmest it gets this time of year! That’s a city of more than 100,000 people.
