NUMBER 1500
This year at graduation marked a special milestone for ML. We had our 1,500 alumni cross the stage to receive their diploma. Richard Kapampa received his diploma, and as he walked to the front, it was announced to everyone, including Richard, that he was number 1500! What a great reminder of the many lives that ML has touched over the years and another reason to give thanks to our gracious Lord for his abundant blessings to all of our Titans!
Newest Alumni
Our Alumni Association held a special lunch at the Titan Center for the Class of 2026. They brought in a speaker, Ms. Sarah (Jackemeyer) Pappenfuss (2018), to tell of her journey and share how ML impacted her and continues to allow her to give back. The Alumni Association also gave out an alumni blanket and t-shirts to all the new alumni!
Second Generation Alumni
At this year’s graduation, we had 9 alumni parents who have seen fit to ensure their sons and daughters were offered a Christian education in their high school years. We love taking this picture every year to celebrate the legacy of families committed to MLHS!
Front Row L to R – Dave Zizkovsky (96), Andrea (Falak) Zizkovsky (96), Hethe Janke (91),

Alumni Wedding
Congratulations to Zeb Pappenfuss (2018) and Sarah (Jackemeyer) Pappenfuss (2018) on their wedding! They were able to move the ceremony forward so that Sarah’s mom, Susan, could witness their marriage prior to God taking Susan home to heaven.
Please email the details and a picture so your fellow alumni can share in thanking God for his blessings!
