This year’s show is titled: “Eve.” The show begins with the perfection that was the Garden of Eden. We open up our show with a breathtakingly gorgeous piece called “The Engulfed Cathedral” by Claude Debussy. Then comes temptation and our temptor, musically represented by the percussion section, as they move to destroy the perfection that is Eden. The temptation continues with a blistering tango, started by a saxophone quartet, followed by the whole band. By the end of the movement, Eve has fallen into temptation and Eden has been destroyed. The show comes to a conclusion with Bjork’s “Overture” to the film “Dancer in the Dark.”

Concordia Lutheran High School is launching a new foreign exchange program for the 2017/2018 school year to provide additional opportunities for students to develop a global perspective on their education. The CLHS/Madrid Homestay Exchange is in partnership with the Colegio Fuente de la Reyna, located in Madrid, Spain.

The question we need to ask ourselves is: Have we lived our lives for Jesus? Have we tried to learn more about Him and grow in that relationship? And have we tried our best to instill that knowledge of His love for us in our children, and students, and the others God brings into our lives? Of course we all fall short in this, but have we tried to use the years God has given us to share that Gospel message of Jesus’ love for us and to live for Him?

As August approaches I see more and more back-to-school posts from all my teacher friends on social media.

Welcome to a new school year and in approximately 220 cases — Welcome to high school! A new school year is always exciting — new uniform shirts, new shoes, new friends and re-connecting with old friends … but sometimes we get hurt in sports practice, overheated in marching band, have anxiety, get headaches, a bad day for our asthma or allergies or some days we just do not feel great!

Welcome to the 2017-18 school year! May this school year be filled with excitement and blessings as we grow through service in faith, intellect and community.

School is nearly back in session, and the teachers are getting ready for the new year. So, we decided to ask our teachers and staff: What did you do this summer? Here is a little look into their lives — outside the classroom.
