Wisconsin Lutheran High School hosted its first String Fest on January 31, welcoming string students from Shoreland Lutheran, Luther Prep, and Kettle Moraine Lutheran for a day centered on fellowship, rehearsal, and shared music-making. The event concluded with a powerful mass orchestra concert featuring 40 high school musicians.

 

As seniors approach the end of their high school journey, planning for what comes next becomes increasingly important. Vocational English, a senior elective, helps students explore their future paths while strengthening essential life and communication skills. This past week, seniors put those skills into action through a Goal Gallery Walk, reflecting on and sharing their hopes and plans for the years ahead. Students showcased their goals through creative projects such as vision boards, show-and-tell presentations, short stories, and letters. 

Five WLHS juniors and Campus Pastor Phil Huebner ('99) recently traveled to the island of Antigua to serve alongside St. John’s Lutheran Church and School. During the mission trip, the students delivered new laptop computers, scientific calculators, projectors, and other school supplies to support the work being done at St. John’s Lutheran School. 

WLHS has partnered with St. John’s for the past eight years through donated supplies and student volunteers. This year, students had the opportunity to assist with campus landscaping, build fellowship with the church’s teen group, help in classrooms for two days, and attend worship.

Hope Squad’s Pancake Breakfast was a wonderful reminder of our calling to “encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11), while also supporting student mental health at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. Established in 2021, Hope Squad is made up of nominated students who serve their peers by reducing mental health stigma and increasing awareness—showing Christ’s love through care, connection, and compassion.

Proceeds from the breakfast will help provide financial assistance for WLHS students who need access to therapy services through our on-site therapist from Christian Family Solutions. 

Excitement is building at Wisconsin Lutheran High School as preparations are underway for Anastasia: The Musical, coming to the Wisco stage March 6-8. Over Christmas break, the cast and crew gathered for their first rehearsal, which included a full script read-through and team-building activities to kick off the production process. This early start set the stage for a meaningful and collaborative rehearsal season as students begin bringing this beloved story to life through music, acting, and dance.

Tickets will go on sale to the public on Monday, February 9.

Wednesday mornings at Wisconsin Lutheran High School are becoming a meaningful time for connection as students gather for student-led Bible studies through Wisco Witnesses in the World led by Campus Pastor Phil Huebner ('99). Small groups meet weekly to study scripture, reflect on guided devotions, and encourage one another in faith.

Senior outreach chair Hannah Strong values “the intimate setting and the authentically vulnerable conversations about the struggles we face,” adding that the groups help students “build up fellow teens in faith.” Senior leader Luke Carlovsky notes that these conversations may encourage greater involvement in teen ministry and spark interest in church membership.
