Today we join the nation in celebrating Juneteenth!

As Christians, Juneteenth is a profound celebration of physical liberation that deeply parallels Biblical themes of redemption, justice, and the inherent dignity of all people as the image of God!

Today and every day, may we all lift up prayers of thanksgiving for our having been forever made the freely given and freely received forgiven and redeemed Children of The Lord!

Tonight we once again invite you in celebrating another one of our “Red Knight Rock Star” scholars, Kalani Roberts!

Kalani was a very strong and curious learner who earned multiple recognitions for all of her hard work and scholarship! A strong grade point average within a rigorous course of study earned her The President’s Education Awards Program Gold Certificate!

Additionally, Kalani was honored with the prestigious “Jeremiah Award for Biblical Scholarship”!

Kalani will be attending Marquette University in the fall where she will be majoring in Computer Science!

Blessings on a bright and beautiful future, Kalani Roberts!

Tonight we lift up another “Red Knight Rock Star” student athlete from the Class of ‘26, Nicholas Weise!

Nick was a standout baseball player, earning four Varsity letters for The Red Knights!

Nick was also the recipient of the Technical Education Department Award for excellence in multiple aspects of the trades!

This year’s remarkably talented winner of “The Lee Otto Award” has received a Findorff Apprenticeship where he has been and will continue studying and working his way in to a career in Carpentry!

Well done and God’s richest blessings to you, Nicholas Weise!

Zamora Govan was this year’s recipient of the prestigious “Daniel Award for Perseverance”!

Zamora was recognized by our teachers and staff members in this way for her being a quiet and very strong “behind the scenes” selfless leader who was deeply involved in many areas of school life!

Zamora demonstrated and lived out a life of service to others while experiencing the sudden loss of a parent mid-way through her Senior year. She demonstrated a strength of character and depth of faith in Christ that was inspiring to the entire Milwaukee Lutheran “Family of Faith”!

Zamora will be attending Mount Mary University in the fall where she will be studying Interior Design!

May The Lord continue to richly bless you as you serve Him and others, Zamora Govan!

Tonight we lift up and celebrate another standout Red Knight Student Athlete from the Class of ‘26, Markell Causey!

Markell was a very strong basketball player earning three varsity letters on some very good teams!

Markell was the recipient of the prestigious “Jonah Award for Resilience”! His receiving this honor resulted from teachers and staff members seeing exceptional growth and improvement throughout and within the completion of his high school career! Especially so during his Senior year!

Markell worked and improved his way in to his being accepted in to Historically Black College (HBCU), Lane College where he will be majoring in Business in the fall!

Keep up the good work using His gifts for His glory, Markell Causey!

Tonight we celebrate another “Rock Star Red Knight Scholar”, Jamela Knox-White!

Jamela was a member of the National Honor Society, a four year band member award winner, and active leader within the Milwaukee Lutheran Student Council!

Jamela will be continuing to prioritize and grow in serving God and others as she moves on to Concordia University Wisconsin where she will be studying Nursing!

Well done and thank you so much, Jamela Knox-White!

The cafeteria was full of joy, memories, and beautiful voices as today we were blessed to host a reunion of The Christian Minstrels!

The initial years of this select music ministry performance choir (1967-1982) were under the direction of Milwaukee Lutheran teacher icon, Mr. Hib Wiedenkeller. Minstrels from this era of choral excellence gathered to celebrate Mr. Wiedenkeller and give thanks to The Lord from whom all blessings flow!

We also welcomed back past teachers and leaders Dr. Tom Buck, Mr. Pete Grass, Pastor Bruce Harrmann, and Mrs. Linda Jaeger!

Praise The Lord for His continued work through music and the selfless efforts of committed Christian teachers like Mr. Hib Wiedenkeller!

Tonight please join us in celebrating another wonderful Milwaukee Lutheran student from the Class of ‘26, Mikayla McFarlin!

Mikayla is a remarkably talented young woman who thrived within our Fine Arts Department! She was a four year award winner in both Choir and Theater! Mikayla was the proud recipient of Theater’s Lifetime Achievement Award as well! She did all of these things while being a high achieving student and exec board member within the National Honor Society!

Mikayla is taking her talents to the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee where she will be studying Graphic Design and Photography!

“Bravo, Mikayla McFarlin! Bravo!”
