Northland Lutheran High School News:
Over the last few years Northland has grown from 63 students to 83 to 111 to 123! With these blessings come even more opportunities for students and ministry. In the past year alone, we’ve been able to add Architectural Design and Accounting 2 (both for college credit) as well as Cross Country, Golf, and Drama. We’ve also welcomed new students and families into the Northland family and God’s family.
With these blessings also comes need for space. The Long Range Planning Committee shared with the NLHS Board of Directors the urgency of a building addition as early as 2026-2027. The woods west of the softball and baseball fields have been cleared to prep the land.Does anyone have space to store our canoes from winter through the summer? We use the canoes in the fall for PE and would like to keep them out of the elements.
Does anyone have expertise in insulating/building walls? Another next step for our building is to insulate the gym.
God continues to bless our debt-reduction efforts. The debt is now down to $424,750. God willing, all of our past debt will be gone by the end of 2025.
