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.

2014 Graduation Commencement

2014 Graduation Commencement exercises for the Class of 2014 will take place on Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 3:00 PM. As in the past, we will hold a worship service to thank God for the gifts he has bestowed on these young people and to ask His blessings on their future endeavors. After the conclusion of the service, we will hold the graduation ceremony, which has always been a little less reverent with picture taking, occasional applause, and the like. The valedictorians speak and the senior anthem completes the ceremony. Families of seniors will receive a letter outlining the procedure for graduation (dress, times, preparation, etc...) Feel free to call the school office with your questi

ons.

Financial Aid for MLHS

This year we are changing the application and disbursement time frame for tuition assistance deadline.

Applications can be requested from our financial office. These need to be filled out and returned to MLHS by June 16. We will get the amount of assistance to our families by July 1st.
