MISSION STATEMENT

Michigan Lutheran High School provides a Christ-centered, confessionally Lutheran secondary education to prepare young adults for lives of Christian service in their churches, workplaces, communities, the world, and for life with their Lord in eternity.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MLHS Class of 2013

May the Lord continue to watch over you and guide you as you go on with your life after high school.

International Students Need Host Families

Michigan Lutheran High School needs host families! God is blessing your area Lutheran high school with an abundance of international students who will be attending MLHS in the fall. We can provide the education, but we are asking you to provide a home for them while they are here. You do not need to have a student who is currently attending Michigan Lutheran. We simply ask for a willingness to treat these students as you would your own child (or grandchild!), by sharing God's Word and His love with them as you open your homes to them. This is an incredible opportunity to serve as a missionary in your own home! If you have any questions, please contact Heidi Plocher, International Advisor: 429-7861, ext. 211 or internationals@michiganlutheran.org

All Students:
If you have not turned in your registration papers, please do so as soon as possible. If you have questions, please contact the school office or your student's class advisor. If you would like information about career technical education or dual enrollment, please contact Mr. Kruck in the guidance office at 269-429-7861 (Ext: 203). A student is not considered registered until the registration form is returned with a $50 non-refundable deposit. The $50 is applied toward next year's tuition. It was our goal to have all students registered by Sunday, April 21. If you have not yet registered your child/children please do so as soon as possible.
