This year we have chosen the theme “A Night for Stars” which promises to be a memorable evening dedicated to celebrating and fundraising for the true “Stars” at MLHS – its exceptional students! To add to the celebration, we will recognize Freddy Krieger, from the class of 1975, as our 2025 Distinguished Alumni.
Since 1974 the God-given talents of students in fine arts and athletics have been primarily showcased using the original gym and stage. We are excited to put our fundraising efforts this year towards significant renovations to these highly visible spaces, where our stars often compete and perform.
WHEN? April 12, 2025, 4:30-9:00 pm; After-Hours Social 9:00-12:00
WHERE? Michigan Lutheran High School

ML has created this event to provide an opportunity for an evening of fellowship for people who have a heart for MLHS and to offer them a chance to support the ministry with their gifts.
The Gala is an evening Christian fellowship, silent auction, elegant dinner, and entertainment. Included in the price of an in-person admission is a donation to support the mission of MLHS. Our event is held on campus at Michigan Lutheran High School on April 20, 2024 from 4:30-9:00.
The Gala is for any adult that would enjoy supporting the MLHS ministry or enjoy being introduced to the MLHS ministry.
Pray – Pray that the Lord would continue to bless ML with faithful workers to serve the students; for many parents who continue to make the loving sacrifices needed to provide a Christ-Centered education for their children; and for a successful event that is used to bring glory to our Lord by providing the resources required to do his work here at ML.
