The Concordia drama department has a longstanding tradition of excellence. In productions like “Hello! My Baby” and “Fiddler on the Roof,” the cast, costumes and set are always among the best in the area. For nearly two decades the program has been directed by Chris Murphy from outside the high school, but now Concordia is bringing the director home.

Break a leg! Andrew Bower, a 2016 Cadet graduate, is starring in a number of local theatrical productions and credits Concordia for jump-starting his journey to Broadway.

If you have not heard, we made some big changes to our daily time schedule this year at Concordia. Here are a few highlights of what it looks like...

Concordia Lutheran High School is once again hosting its popular Concordia Comedy Festival at 7 p.m. April 20 at the Cinema Center in Downtown Fort Wayne. The festival is currently accepting entries.

Tonight is the 20th annual Middle School Math and Science Adventure. The event was started in 1997 and has grown in popularity over the years. Last year, 10 Lutheran Schools participated. Many of these schools brought two teams of students resulting in 17 teams of approximately 10 students engaging in math and science competitions throughout the night. The math and science departments at Concordia Lutheran High School have once again prepared math and science challenges for this year’s adventure.

The community of Lutheran South Academy in Houston, Texas has been devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Concordia Lutheran High School is collecting funds to provide relief to families affected.

Ever been afraid of that first day of school? Through Concordia Lutheran High School’s annual Concordia Day, students can experience high school without the stress of that first day.

Many fitness units involve students doing exercises, but not really understanding why they are doing them or how to recreate them at home. Our goal was develop an educational experience that would allow students to research and create — not just “Do.”

One of my very favorite things to do is READ!! When asked what my favorite season is my first response is fall because of the beauty we get to see unfold around us — and the cool temperatures. But, I think summer is quickly catching up, and that is not because of the hot temperatures. Selfishly, summer is the time when we have no school, which means no homework, no bedtimes, and no sports practices to get to for the kids. This, in turn, gives me more time to do what I love … read!!

This past summer, I spent time broadening my horizons through participation in the “Work Based Learning-Counselors in Industry” internship through the Indiana Department of Education. This internship project was an exciting opportunity to gain valuable industry knowledge that can be passed along to students.
