Lakeside Lutheran High School opens its doors to 135 freshmen on Wednesday, August 18. Freshmen will begin their school year a day early to orient and learn schedules, meet teachers and other students, and explore co-curricular opportunities. Classes begin on campus for all 455 students on Thursday, August 19, an increase of 7.3% from the start of 2020-21.
An opening service and installation of new faculty will take place as part of the first day’s events on August 19 at 10 a.m. in the west gymnasium. Pastor Joel Fricke from Immanuel Lutheran Church, Johnson Creek, will offer the devotion during this special chapel service. The theme for the 2021-23 school years is “Become,” a reminder of 2 Corinthians 5:21 “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” The biennial theme is a focus in devotions and other events throughout the school year.
Four new full-time faculty members will also be installed and recognized in the opening service.
With 28 years of teaching experience, mostly recently in Illinois, Mr. John Dorn will teach Physical Science, Environmental Science, and Anatomy and Physiology and coach football and soccer. He and his wife will live in Lake Mills.
