CALL NEWS

At its December meeting, the Luther High School Board of Control issued three calls for full-time instructors.

Pastor Evan Chartrand was called to serve as our campus pastor. Pastor Chartrand is 34 years old and serves at Luther Prep in Watertown, Wisconsin. Luther Prep is a high school that prepares and encourages high school students to consider serving in the public ministry. Pastor Chartrand's wife Joanna is a wellness coach.

Mr. Joe Fetcenko was called to serve as a full-time instructor in our practical arts department with the emphasis of being the lead teacher with our new Industry 4.0 curriculum. Mr. Fetcenko currently serves as the 6th-grade homeroom teacher at St. Paul's Lutheran in Onalaska. Mr. Fetcenko's wife Danielle also teaches at St. Paul's, Onalaska.

Mr. Nathan Gartner was called to serve as a full-time instructor and our boys' varsity basketball coach. Mr. Gartner currently serves as vice-principal and upper-grade teacher at Mt. Olive Lutheran School in Appleton, Wisconsin. He has earned his master's degree in curriculum and instruction. Mr. Gartner and his wife Lauren have two children that are six and two years old. They are expecting their third child in April.

We keep the Chartrands, Fetcenkos, and Gartners in our prayers as they consider serving at Luther High School.

FRESHMEN ENROLLMENT

Forty-seven students have enrolled in our freshmen class for the 2023-2024 school year. Families that are interested in a school tour should contact Principal Phil Punzel at punzphil@luther.k12.wi.us.

SCHOOL MISSION MONEY RECIPIENT

Special Message

Luther High School friends and family, we have chosen Abiding Love Lutheran Church in Cape Coral, Florida as this year’s school mission project.

Ben Mahnke ('17) serves as staff minister in the congregation and Bethany Wu (nee Lisowski '16) serves as a teacher in the preschool. They are both alums of YOUR Luther High School. Recently this church was impacted by Hurricane Ian. They sustained considerable damage to both their church and preschool facility. We ask that you prayerfully consider helping as we collect offerings this year to assist in their recovery.

To date, we have raised $700 of our $4,000 goal. If you'd like to donate, please click the "Donate" button below.
