This is a listing of the awards that were handed on May 21 during the Underclassmen Awards ceremony.

The following students have been named to the Honor Roll and Honorable Mention list for Spring 2018.

In addition to the second meningitis vaccination required prior to the first day of school, seniors also must have 2 doses of Hepatitis A completed prior to the first day of school. This is a 2-dose series that must be given 6 months apart so it is imperative to get started now if your student has not already had these. Please send this information to me anytime but also bring to it Registration this summer. If your senior student will not have completed the Hepatitis A series -- please bring a copy of their appointment card to finish the series. This will allow them to start school in August.

Congratulations to the Class of 2018 for their graduation from Concordia Lutheran High School. Many thanks to the worship leaders, speakers, instrumentalists, and A Cappella Choir for their participation. God’s blessings to each of our graduates and their parents as they continue their walk with Christ in their next and exciting steps.

Learning occurs in a myriad of facets whether through experiential learning or the pursuit of education. At Concordia, I appreciate the alignment of core values including servant leadership and lifelong learning with the mission statement. With an interest in many disciplines and to broaden my background, I personally chose and recently earned certificates in leadership from Cornell University online. I thought I would take a moment to share some of what I learned as well as concepts the programs reinforced.

Go to a lake, make dinner for your parents, explore a state park, listen to music with your grandparents, start a fire and make s’mores — spend time together.

The Socratic Seminar (sometimes referred to as a Fishbowl Discussion) is my favorite way to stimulate conversation in my English classes. The Greek philosopher Socrates believed that the best way to learn was to engage in conversation, and I wholeheartedly agree! A Socratic seminar plays right into that and enables students to think for themselves rather than filling their heads with my “right” answers.

Brittany Brune has been named the new head cheerleading coach at Concordia Lutheran High School. She replaces Suzanne Koehlinger who stepped down after this season.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of our 2018 graduates and our incoming students (2022 graduates!).
