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.

Divine Call

On Monday, February 23, Ms. Sperle accepted her call to serve as an instructor at Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School in New Ulm, MN.

The Divine call process will begin next week when our Board of Regents receives a list of candidates from the Commission on Lutheran Schools. These candidates will be given to us based on criteria set by the board for replacing the call of Ms. Sperle. The Board will vote on a female candidate and issue her a call to serve at ML. That teacher will then go through the same process Ms. Sperle just went through as she deliberates where she can best serve. We will keep all informed of the process so that you can pray for this servant.

REGISTRATION FOR GRADES 10-12

Registration for the 2015-16 school year took place at MLHS this past week (the week of March 22.) The students met with their advisors to determine a course selection for next school year. They should have brought forms home for signatures which should have been returned back to their advisors along with a $50 registration payment. If they have not yet brought these back please get them here as soon as possible.

LADY TITAN BASKETBALL 2014-15:

We are wrapping up what was nothing short of a spectacular season for our Lady Titan Basketball Team.

Many positive comments from opposing schools, host schools, college coaches in attendance, and opposing fans addressing the Titan fan conduct and team play, have been sent our way.

This year our Ladies won ML's sixteenth district title; six of them have been won in the previous seven years.

In ML's History this is only the second time our Lady Titan's have won the Regional title.

In a 39 year existence of the program, our record is 603 wins and 225 losses.

Our Titan Alumni still stand proud in the eyes of the Titan Nation: 1000 Point Scorers: Tracy Renken (1,752), Abby Gephart (1,301), Erika Scheffler (1,114), Jenna Green (1,039), and Lori Kloko-Miller (1,021)

God continues to bless the Titan Nation through its purpose and mission!

To Him be the glory!
