News and Announcements

A group of 77 Concordia Lutheran High School students and 14 chaperones will take on Washington, D.C., later this month in support of pro-life. This is the largest group to date from Concordia to go to the March for Life.

Congratulations to Addison Agen, Concordia junior, for her tremendous success on NBC’s The Voice! Addison’s performance and success provided tremendous pride throughout our school and the Fort Wayne community.

As a mom of two teenage students, I remember leaving the safety of the grade school that they attended for almost a decade. The school that I served as a room mom for numerous classrooms, helped with PTL events, chaperoned dances and volunteered on committees. What now?

Concordia Lutheran High School has named two new head coaches for the softball and boy’s golf teams, Brian Kurek and Dan Wert respectively.

Concordia Lutheran High School’s alumni mentor program on Jan. 11 will feature Dr. Julie Bolinger, a 2006 graduate, who will talk about her career as a clinical pharmacist.

Families will be able to tour the high school, explore programs of their interest, and talk to Concordia’s admissions team about applying, scholarships and need-based financial aid available.

Sara (Thieme) Glassley, a 2006 Concordia graduate, went to college at University of St. Francis where she got both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and then a Master of Science in Nursing. She now lives in Huntertown, Ind., and works at Parkview Physicians Group - Mind Body Medicine as a family nurse practitioner.

Concordia Lutheran High School. This name means so much more to me than just a high school. I have met some extraordinary students here. They are musicians, athletes, actors and actresses, JROTC standouts, and so much more. They are students who are making their way through struggles and trials; students who want to lend a helping hand; students striving to figure out who they are and where they fit in.

As I continue to think about gifts, I become so thankful for all the gifts that God gives us and allows us to share with others.

Why am I bringing up this “first job” topic? Well, you may or may not know that January 2018 marks the 16th anniversary of National Mentoring Month. I direct the Career Internship Program at Concordia Lutheran High School and care deeply about career awareness and professional development of high school students. Enter in the key player of mentors. My tennis coach served as my influential mentor.
