CONCORDIA LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL FORT WAYNE alumni have crafted 5 common-sense policies that every Lutheran High School could adopt to pursue greater racial diversity, equity, and inclusion. Please consider:
- SIGNING HERE in support and SHARING their policies with your local Lutheran schools and/or alma mater. Help Concordia Fort Wayne lead the way for a new era of racial reconciliation and reform in Lutheran education.
- Check out powerful testimonies from their alumni on Instagram @clhsalum_4_socialjustice.
MILWAUKEE LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL art teacher, Jason Crayton, teamed up with twenty former students to create a mural (pictured above) to value, uplift, love, amplify, honor, and nurture Black neighbors in their city. Not only that, but their efforts were endorsed and promoted by the high school itself. Please consider liking and sharing the school's post on Facebook as a means of encouragement and support.
Thank you to both of these groups for being trailblazers in our Lutheran schools. If you are a Lutheran administrator, educator, student, parent, or donor -- we humbly encourage you to follow their lead.
