Get-To-Know ML Night
It’s time for new families to come in and check out everything that ML offers for a Christian high school education. Join us on December 9th for dinner, tours, and Titan hoops! Get all the info needed as well as admissions information for the 2026-2027 school year! Please share this with your friends and family!
End-Of-Year Giving Opportunity

At the end of each year, ML raises funds needed for our tuition assistance. Every dollar given directly impacts a family’s opportunity to send their sons and daughters to receive a Christ-centered education at ML.
Our goal is to raise $50,000 by December 31. Give your gift online at https://secure.myvanco.com/YH2G/campaign/C-YJYQ or send your donation to MLHS.
