MISSION STATEMENT

Michigan Lutheran High School provides a Christ-centered 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.  

 

 

Registration for Class of 2018

 

If you have a student currently in eighth grade and would like to enroll them as a

freshman at MLHS for the upcoming school year, we are now accepting

applications. Please share this information with members of your congregation,

people in your neighborhood, or with friends or family that you think would be

interested in learning about our Christ-centered secondary high school. If you

have any questions, please contact Mr. Herbst or call the school office for an

information packet and application form.  Our website now has a page set up just

for the Class of 2018.  Check it out for steps to registration and important dates
as well as for opportunities to learn more about MLHS. 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2014 - 2015 Freshman Testing and Registration

 
Students who will be entering the 9th grade in the fall of the 2014 - 2015 school year will be given the opportunity to take the Explore test at MLHS on Saturday, March 22, from 9am until noon. This test, which is prepared by the same organization that produces the ACT, helps parents and advisors learn about their student's level of preparation in English, math, reading, and science. While the students are writing their tests, parents may register their children for the 2014 - 2015 year. A $50 registration deposit is to be paid at the time of registration. This deposit is refundable if the application is withdrawn by June 15th. If a student is planning to attend MLHS but cannot make the registration date, parents should call the high school at 269-429-7861 to make other arrangements.

 ~Upcoming ML Sundays~

 

Sunday, March 2 ~ Good Shepherd ~ Benton Harbor ~ 9:30 AM

Sunday, March 9 ~ Peace ~ Granger, IN ~ 9 AM

 

The ML Family will join in expressing our appreciation to God for providing congregations and schools that lovingly support Christian secondary education at MLHS.   The Festival Singers edify these special services in song; Rev. Schneider leads the service.   Let us come and worship God who makes it all possible!

 

 HOMES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

 

 Our international advisor is looking to gauge the level of interest among our ML families to host international students.  In order to do this, a brief survey will be sent to the families of current freshmen and sophomores.  Please bear in mind that hosting a student does not necessarily require a year-long commitment on your part. In many instances, we will be looking for short-term housing providers to accommodate either a current host family who can't take their international student with them on an extended trip, or to give those international students who live in our dorms a chance to experience the life and culture of an American family. Please take the time to answer the survey and return it by March 21st. If you don't receive a survey but would like one, please contact our International Advisor, Heidi Plocher: 269-429-7861, ext. 211.
