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.  

 


International Trip
Mr. Herbst made it safely to China.   He will be gone on this recruiting trip until April 22. Please pray that he has a safe trip blessed with many opportunities to share a Christ-centered education with more international students.  If you need anything school related during that time, please contact Mr. Kruck.  

Update on Student Housing at MLHS

MLHS is working on policies and costs associated with our new student housing which will be up and running next school year.  Our website will have the handbook, application, and financial information available next week.  The housing is for both international and domestic students.  Pass it along to your friends outside of our area who may be interested in a Lutheran secondary education at ML!

Your help is needed in the upcoming months. Please consider opening your hearts and homes to one of our international students.

Selective Service Registration


Federal law says that all 18-year-old men must register with Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday.  Registration takes only a few minutes and can be accomplished by visiting www.sss.gov.  For additional information, call 1-847-688-6888.  Failure to register can lead to fines, prison, or withholding of college grants.

 

 


ATTENTION SENIORS and PARENTS

 

This is just a reminder that there will be a $25.50 fee for graduation caps and gowns for which each of our seniors was measured.  They can be picked up from the ML Office beginning May 12.  Robes should be taken out of the wrap and hung on a hanger immediately so that they are not wrinkled for commencement services.  

 

 

 SCRIP PROGRAM

   

Again this year, parents who participate in the Scrip program will split the profits generated with Michigan Lutheran. Specifically, 50% of the profits will be applied to the student's tuition; the other 50% will be kept by ML for current expenses.  Relatives and friends may help increase an ML parent's order by having their orders placed on the ML parent's order form. If you have questions, please call Mrs. Bette Otte at 429-7861, ex. 212.

  

Scrip orders need to be turned in by 9:00 am on Mondays. These orders will normally be available for pickup by Thursday of the same week. Orders placed after 9:00 am may not be available until the following week.

TITAN POWERLIFTING

 

Over the past year, the ML women's powerlifting team has had 28 dedicated members lift either once or twice a week. The main purpose of the lifting is to prevent injuries, but the ML ladies have also been able to participate in the State Powerlifting Regional and State Championships.  This past season the powerlifting team was featured on the front page of the Herald Palladium and on Channel 22 WSBT CBS out of South Bend.  In competition, the ladies placed 3rd as a team in regionals. Courtney Burnett, Sarah Cramer, Miranda Tolsma, Anna Pelkey, Grace Barner, Samantha Rock, Makenzie Zabel, and Sara Moncrieff all made it to the State Championships March 7th.  All eight ladies set their personal records in total weight lifted, and Sarah Cramer placed 8th in the state.  

The powerlifting team would like to thank God for providing a school, family, and supporters who encourage the young ladies to reach their goals and to serve as examples to other young ladies.

Powerlifting is open to any 7th through 12th grader that attends any Lutheran elementary school or Michigan Lutheran.  It is never too late to join; we have had seniors in high school join their senior year.  Lift sessions are normally Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon and during summer months.  If you have any questions please call Bret Witkowski at 983-2877

Robotics
 
Congratulations to your CW Tech Robotics team. During the St. Joseph event held March 28th and 29th, they finished second after the qualifying matches and made it to the semi-finals in the elimination matches. In addition, they were presented with the "Judges Award" for their work mentoring the rookie Hartford team after their coach was in a serious car accident. The Herald-Palladium also published an article about these efforts this past Friday. Based on this year's team performances, the CW Tech Robotarians have qualified to compete at the Michigan State Championship for the fifth year in a row. Amazing job people!

 

The MLHS students involved in Robotics are:  Noah Russell, Cody Laughlin, Josh Nolte, Nate Arend, Harmonie Morgan, and Vince Skorupa
