Student Council Leads Project

The LHS Student Council is building a Memorial Garden in honor of Kristen Wheeler. The memorial will be located on the grassy median area between the pick-up/drop-off area and the driveway on the east side of the building. The memorial is an immense project and we are in great need of everyone's help. Please check out the list of donations needed to make this project possible and consider how you can help. Help us celebrate the life of Kristen Wheeler!

Soccer Field Renovation

The LHSKC soccer field is receiving some needed renovation. Under the leadership of a group of dedicated parents, the field is being graded, flattened and sodded. During the summer, the field will be lengthened and grandstands added. Upon completion we expect the facility to be one of the best in the area and for use by our LHSKC teams as well as our Lutheran elementary school league competition. Thank you parents for your financial and work on building our soccer program to greater excellence. We will be showing you the updated renovations as they progress!

Memorial Celebrated

On Monday, March 26 at Calvary Lutheran Church in KCMO, Pastor Bereuter led the memorial service for our recently departed freshman student Kristen Wheeler. She waged a valiant fight against cancer for many months, and now all of us can take comfort in the sure knowledge that she is no longer in pain and has entered an eternal bliss that is every Christian's reward. Please continue to remember Kristin's family in prayer. We agree with St. Paul in Thessalonians that we grieve, but not as those who have no hope.

Lutheran High School Comes Together With One Heart

At a school like Lutheran High School, when one student is hurting, many others want to help out. As freshman Kristin Wheeler continues to battle cancer, LHS students in the Christian Literature class determined that Kristin should not lose out on another traditional activity during this school year. Since Kristin has been weakened in this fight and could not come to the Homecoming Week Pep Rally, senior Brianna Grimm (Bethany, Overland Park) and Jeremy Rodriguez (St. Stephen's, Liberty) recommended that LHS should take the pep rally to her home. And so they did! The whole band, spirit squad, student body and faculty made the trek to her home 2 miles from school and surprised her with her very own pep rally in her front yard. Truly, the LHS family had come together with one heart to rally for Kristin and for the Knight athletes. Please check out the links to news organizations that covered the event.
