MLHS GALA – What a Night!
What a night to remember! Our Fire and Ice 2026 Gala was nothing short of magical, an evening filled with joy, generosity, and a shared passion for the future of Michigan Lutheran High School! Together, we celebrated the blessings of a Christ-Centered high school in SW Michigan and raised funds that will make a positive impact on her future. It’s all thanks to our incredible donors, sponsors, team members, attendees, volunteers, and supporters. As gifts continue to roll in to support our facility upgrades, we give thanks to our God for the generosity of so many who raised over $132,000!
A highlight of the evening was hearing from this year’s Distinguished Alumna, Dr. Abigail (Schneider) Polzin, Class of 2002. Take some time to listen to her speech as she shares the impact of a Christian education in her life.
CLASS OF 1976 – 50th Year Reunion
Now in its 3rd year, we celebrate the 50th reunion of one of our earliest graduating classes. This year, it’s your turn, Class of 1976!
