Strategic Planning Needs You!
It is customary for many to look for ways to improve themselves in the New Year through resolutions. MLHS is also dedicated to improving its ministry to teenagers. In the next two months, we are gathering input from all our major stakeholders in order to put together a strategic plan with the main goal of improving our high school and setting a vision for the future. If you have received an invitation to participate in these focus groups, please RSVP to Mrs. Sievert ( asievert@michiganlutheran.org) to let us know if you will be able to join us. If you did not get an invitation, but would be willing to be a part of a focus group, we are holding an Open Forum on February 19 at 6:30 pm at ML. Everyone's input is necessary as we seek to move forward as a leader in secondary Christian education. |
