Congratulations to our volleyball players who earned district honors, including all four of our wonderful seniors!We invite you to join us on Tuesday, November 8th at 6:30 pm to see how LHS focuses on nurturing faith and pursuing excellence with our students so that they lead lives of impact long after they leave our halls.
Students use academics, athletics, robotics, drama, health science, student government, service activities, and many other opportunities to be involved as building blocks to grow their faith, their character, and to impact their community to the glory of Jesus Christ! Register here to reserve your spot and see if becoming a part of the Mustang herd is a good fit for your family. We also encourage all potential students to spend a day shadowing a current student at Lutheran High. This will give your student a snapshot of what a day in the life of a Mustang looks like. Shadowing involves pairing with a student close to their age and similar interests. What does it mean to make involvement a pillar? This picture is a great example of our students' involvement at LHS. Our students are involved in fellowship, robotics, and volleyball in this one moment after school and before a volleyball match.
You can see seniors and freshmen, teachers and coaches, players and managers, athletes and robotics kids all gathered together. Mr. Schuetze is working with one student on an ESTEAM project for the Texas Special Olympics, while other students relax and take in a snack before the game. This blending of athletics and academics is not rare on our campus. We encourage students to be involved and chase their passions, whether that be drama, science fair, athletics, or any number of other opportunities. If you'd like to know more about how you can be involved at LHS and be a part of a community that nurtures faith and pursues excellence, please reach out to us by phone or text at 210-694-4962! Wednesday, August 10 is the first day of school! The aim of our first three days is to make students comfortable and build relationships with their peers and teachers. Thursday we will have a short schedule walkthrough, Mustang Marathon explanation and sign-up, and a fun field trip. Friday is the Mustang Marathon with team Grey looking to defend their title against team Garnet in an epic decathlon-style competition of events ranging from kickball to still-life drawing to capture the flag! LHS is a Christian High School that believes a healthy campus starts with relationships. If you want to experience the difference the Mustang family provides, spots are available but filling fast. To come and be a part of the Mustang Family, text or call 210-694-4962 or send a message to info@lhssa.org. Summer Reading
You can find the summer reading list and assignments for this year here. The AP reading choice list is here. The most important thing is for students to read. To ensure that students are reading, we have a couple of assessment choices that students can choose. One is the writer's notebook we have been using for a while now, and the other is a chance for students to respond via Flipgrid video posts. A Servant Heart is one of the pillars at LHS. On Saturday, July 30, many of our students and families gave up a Saturday morning to serve. Whether they were painting, mowing, planting, or cleaning, they were working together to prepare our campus for the coming school year.
Whether it’s in service to our Lord, our Church, our family, our community, or our school, an LHS student puts service above self! If you are looking for a Christian High School in the San Antonio area, schedule a tour and see what it means to be a part of the Mustang family. You can text or call 210-694-4962 or email info@lhssa.org for more information! Saturday, July 16, the Mechanical Mustangs teams were ecstatic to exercise their servant hearts as they helped run the FIRST Access event at Morgan's Wonderland. According to FIRST, "With the pilot of the FIRST Access programs, FIRST in Texas aims to make FIRST robotics programming more accessible to students with disabilities. The diversity of disabilities leads to the need for greater awareness and opportunities to make our programs more accessible." As a Christian High School in San Antonio, Texas, LHS wanted to be in on the ground floor of this movement. Teams 6407 and 7615 jumped in and were happy to partner with Kinetic Kids to form FIRST Access team Mechanical Mustangs Justify. Mechanical Mustangs Justify first competed at the Blackout event at Brandeis High School and was a part of the winning alliance. Saturday's event, hosted at Morgan's Wonderland, was a chance for team Justify to compete against other FIRST Access teams in the same way our high school teams compete during the school year. LHS students served as coaches for the Justify team made up of Kinetic Kids members, giving great on-field directions and ensuring that the team got to the game field on time. They shared roles helping navigate the team through roles such as lead mechanic, pit boss, and team coder. LHS team members also helped serve as scoring referees. Coach Andrew Schuetze said, "It was a true body of Christ type of moment as each student served the needs of this community with skill and expertise in a harmonious effort." LHS differentiates itself from other Christian High Schools in San Antonio through our Innovation Lab time.
At the end of each day, our students have forty minutes to pursue a passion project. For many of our students, that means preparing themselves physically for athletic competition, and for others, it means finding a project and pouring their time and energy into it. This year students created their own business using a Cricut, a multi-language coloring book, learned 3D design and printing, and other fun projects. This self-directed learning time allows students to seek out relevance and design their own path to success! LHS started an eSports team in 2020 to offer something for students on campus and those who were learning remotely. Since then, it has grown and now includes teams for Rocket League, Madden, Splatoon, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Kart.
eSports is more than just playing video games, and that is why the city of San Antonio is supporting eSports in schools by building physical infrastructure to help build a talent pipeline of technology and engineering for a growing workforce need (https://www.portsanantonio.us/EIEF). “Port San Antonio understands the increased role of eSports in both education and workforce development. As a result, the Port is further supporting San Antonio’s burgeoning gaming sector through its partnership with EIEF as it helps develop tomorrow’s tech leaders.” Lutheran High School is proud to be one of the partners Port San Antonio has used to build the local eSports community and provide a new avenue for students to pursue careers in technology. “Over the last few years, Port San Antonio has built a strong relationship with our local eSports community, and we are committed to supporting its success and growth,” said Port San Antonio Business Development Specialist Stephanie Garcia. “It is equally important for the Port to grow along with the community, and our partnership with the EIEF is only the beginning. We want our local gamers to feel that the upcoming innovation center, particularly the eSports arena, is their home – a place where they can have fun gaming while mastering their acumen to help build their futures.” |
