would it look 

like 

REV. KENNETH FISHER 

A MESSAGE FROM 

PRESIDENT OF THE WLHS CONFERENCE 

Pastor Ken Fisher at 

the Strategic Ministry 

Planning Meeting 

If you could paint a picture of the future for WLHS, 

what would it look like 

That’s the question we are asking alumni, parents, 

supporters, faculty, and staff through the strategic 

planning process that WLHS is conducting this year. 

Not everyone’s answer is the same. But the common 

denominator is the passion and love for this ministry 

seemingly shared by everyone who’s been touched by 

it. Plus a common belief that God’s not done using this 

high school to impact his kingdom. 

I can’t help but agree. 

The process is encouraging everyone to communicate 

openly and offer their diverse opinions as we discern 

God’s will for WLHS. That’s not an easy task since 

God’s Word doesn’t exactly tell us what we need to be 

in the future. The Great Commission’s mandate is clear. 

So is the gift of our confessional Lutheranism — handed 

down from our forefathers who made great sacrifices — 

so that the school could continue to give away the gift 

of the pure gospel to the next generation. 

As we listen to everyone, sort through reams of 

comments from our online surveys, assess the 

demographic data, review historical trends, and pour 

over spreadsheets of institutional information, we have 

identified key strategic issues. We need to clarify our 

Vision and communicate better the Mission, Vision and 

Values of our school. We need to overcome some false 

perceptions regarding school safety and, even for a few 

people, about our academic standards. There are some 

real tensions and concerns to resolve. But the entire 

process is helping us to better understand areas we 

need to improve. Unique strengths that we can clearly 

build upon! Opportunities we can seize for the future! 

Over the next several months, through a consensusdriven 

process, we will develop a specific Vision 

Statement that describes what we clearly aspire to 

become; define key Value Statements that are nonnegotiable 

for our future ministry; and set clear Strategic 

Goals to help achieve that Vision, which we will then be 

breaking down into measurable, manageable pieces to 

resolve over the next three to five years. 

This will not be one person’s or group’s vision. It will 

be a consensus vision. “Consensus” means that not 

everyone gets his or her way. Thankfully, it also means 

that the collective wisdom is greater than anyone’s 

individual opinion. 

That’s why we need your continuing input and 

fervent prayers! 

As the new president of this workshop of the Holy Spirit, 

my personal prayer is that we never lose our passion 

or stop seeing the unique ways God can use WLHS 

to change lives forever through the power of a Christcentered 

education! 

So, may I ask you to keep this process in your prayers 

With you in his service, 

President Kenneth Fisher

Strategic Ministry Planning 

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper 

you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

Jeremiah 29:11 

Summary of Online 

Survey Results 

• Strong participation and 

almost 10,000 comments 

• WLHS’ overall strengths are 

being Christ-centered, faculty, 

and academics. 

• Improving facilities was expressed 

as important. 

• Highlights for students include 

spiritual life and service, athletics, 

and Fine Arts. Campus morale is 

very positive and school safety is 

very good. 

• School pride is strong. 74.2% gave 

this a very good or excellent rating. 

• Engagement is high—regarding 

recommending WLHS to others, 

86% would recommend or were 

very likely to recommend. 

• Areas in need of improvement 

include: 

– Engagement between WLHS and 

WLHS Conference Congregations 

– Recruitment 

– All categories of communication 

At WLHS, we want our students and their families, our administration and board, 

faculty and staff, the WLHS Conference Congregations and alumni, donors and 

the community to understand our mission and have confidence in it. A strategic 

ministry plan for the future of WLHS needs to be a plan anticipating change and 

self-improvement. The planning process considers WELS, non-WELS, city, suburban, 

and even international viewpoints. The plan will help determine how to balance 

the differing needs of all those individuals. “The process of developing a strategic 

ministry plan,” states Pastor Ken Fisher, “sought collective answers and wisdom 

that the whole WLHS Conference can get behind. Not just my thoughts, or the 

board of directors’ thoughts, but of everyone with an interest in WLHS.” 

A comprehensive Strategic Ministry Planning (SMP) process at WLHS began in 

August, 2012, and will continue throughout this school year. With a Strategic 

Ministry Plan, WLHS will have an outline for the future with a continual plan 

for anticipated change and clear specifics to best serve our students. 

Process 

“If we could first know where we are, and whither we are 

tending, we could better judge what to do, and how to do it.” 

- Abraham Lincoln 

The process started with developing a planning framework to decide how best to 

involve as much input from people as possible. The first step in the process was 

formative interviews by our consultant, Alan Zacharias, with a cross-section of key 

leaders of stakeholder groups. These groups included our faculty and the WLHS 

Conference pastors and principals. He also met with the WLHS Foundation 

Board and the WLHS Conference delegates. 

Also, over 5,000 individuals were invited to participate in the Online SMP Survey. 

This included alumni, students, parents, faculty and staff, pastors, principals, 

donors, and WELS church members. (See highlights of the results to the left.) 

With the gathering of all this valuable input having occurred, a Strategic Ministry 

Planning Committee (SMPC) was formed and held a focused meeting in October 

with the committee, the WLHS leadership team, and members of the board of 

directors. Following a concise situational analysis, Zacharias led the team through 

a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis and 

discussion about how SWOT shapes the mission, vision, values, and goals for 

WLHS’ future ministry. 

Expected Outcomes 

The following outcomes are anticipated based on the strategic planning findings 

that have been identified with key stakeholders: 

Online survey text analysis of words; 

the bigger the text the more frequently 

a word was mentioned 

- Encourage open communication, broad involvement, and diverse 

opinions as we discern God’s will for WLHS. 

- Affirm our Great Commission mandate and commitment to 

confessional Lutheranism. 

- Provide a pathway to serving both the needs of urban and suburban 

churches and schools. 

- Strengthen the WLHS Conference. 

- Mitigate the perceived tension of WELS/non-WELS, Choice/tuition students, etc. 

- Present with crystal clarity the mission, vision, values, goals, and plan 

for the future.

The Strategic Ministry Planning Committee, the 

WLHS’ Leadership Team, and members of the Board 

of Directors spent a weekend working on the plans 

Mission, Vision, Values, Goals 

The next major step is to develop the strategic 

framework. This means to: 

- Revisit the current Mission Statement. The WLHS 

mission won’t change, but the Mission Statement 

needs to be shorter in length, more memorable, yet 

able to describe the organizational purpose. 

Sharon Patterson, 

Hannah Reinke, and 

Kent Raabe at work in 

a break-out discussion 

- Prepare a Vision Statement. The Vision Statement 

will describe the organization WLHS aspires to 

become. This establishes a future state and a lofty, 

though attainable, picture of the future for WLHS. 

- Identify the WLHS Values. The Values are a list 

of key words followed by a declarative sentence 

that describes each Value that WLHS will hold sacred. 

- Create Strategic Goals. A list of Goals will help 

WLHS achieve its Vision. The Goals will be 

broken down into manageable areas and 

developed into actionable items. 

The Strategic Goals will then be the responsibility of 

Ministry Action Teams (MAT) to break down into 

actionable items. The teams will involve members of the 

original SMPC, and will allow a broader base of people 

to get involved as they address the specific issues 

that came out as we listened to our stakeholders and 

gathered information about our ministry situation. MAT 

will need to consider measurability, accountability, and 

time frame for each item. 

This process will culminate with a document, the 

Strategic Ministry Plan, that will be in the hands of the 

board and delegates by the end of the school year. The 

plan will clearly articulate our Mission, Vision, Values, 

and Goals and establish strategies for us to follow to 

achieve the Vision over the next three to five years. 

Consultant Perspective 

Zacharias, the son of a Lutheran pastor, has provided 

counsel to a variety of Lutheran high schools, 

universities, WELS entities, and non-profits. He 

commented at the SMPC meeting that he has “never 

experienced a group of stakeholders as engaged 

and as passionate about an organization as those 

involved with WLHS.” As we encounter this defining 

moment at WLHS through the SMP, Zacharias’ 

observation can instill in us confidence that the future 

is bright for this loved, Christ-centered school. 

“Clear mission, vision, values, goals, 

and plan is the engine that drives 

organizational impact, efficiencies, 

participation, and support.”

DR. ALAN MERTEN 

Retired President of George Mason University 

SPOTLIGHT 

George Mason University 

occupies more than 160 

structures spread over 

three campuses 

Pastor Ken Fisher sat down with Dr. Alan Merten, a member of the 

WLHS Hall of Fame who recently retired as president of George Mason 

University (GMU), to discuss his highly successful career in government 

and higher education, and how his time at Wisconsin Lutheran High 

School (WLHS) helped prepare him for a success-filled life. Learn about 

his hands-on approach to people-centered administration, marriage, 

family, and leadership in the following interview. 

GEORGE MASON YEARS 

FISHER: “When you became the president of GMU in 1996, there 

were about 20,000 students. Today the school has grown to be 

Virginia’s largest university with over 33,000 and the budget has 

grown from $200 million annually to over $900 million. What 

would you describe as the most important factors for achieving 

this growth” 

MERTEN: “First, I made sure I had the stamina for the job. 

It is seven days a week. Secondly, I had a passion for the 

responsibilities that I had. Thirdly, I really cared about the faculty, 

students, staff, and community. When I was selected to be the 

leader at George Mason I assembled a staff of people over the 

years who provided leadership for what they were interested in. 

We made progress no matter what happened — whether times 

were good or bad. 

Also, we quickly developed four themes that were important factors: 

1. Be innovative and entrepreneurial to do things that most 

universities don’t do — take chances. 

2. Take advantage of assets — people, programs, and facilities 

that were already at GMU. 

3. Build on strengths. We identified what we were good at 

and built on those. 

4. Market ourselves. The fact that people heard so much 

about GMU wasn’t accidental. We felt that it was part of 

what made us different. Marketing not only built up our 

image, but it made the people who were making a 

difference at GMU feel good.” 

Over the course of his tenure, Merten oversaw 125 building projects at GMU. In the President’s 

mansion, Merten marked the milestones of his grandchildren’s growth on the inside of a closet – 

each with a date. When he retired, the university surprised him by removing that board from the closet and making 

a memorial that synched the charting of his grandchildren’s growth with the timeline of the building projects

Sally Merten 

FISHER: “Growth doesn’t always happen 

at the pace we’d like. There are usually 

ups and downs. What was one of your 

low points What did it teach you” 

MERTEN: “I learned a long time ago 

not to get too high or too low. When 

things were going well, I learned to 

take advantage of that and to make a 

difference. When things weren’t going 

so well, we just kept going. My mother 

taught me ‘Don’t sit there. Do something.’ 

But I also learned: don’t just do something. 

Sit there. Sometimes people wanted 

immediate action and I said, ‘Just let’s 

wait.’ It is knowing when to act and how 

to act and when not to act.” 

FISHER: “Many have observed that one 

of the keys of your leadership success 

is knowing everyone from the janitor to 

sought-after top professors. You are 

known for having an understanding of 

people and asking everyone to work 

together in an organization. Explain 

your thoughts.” 

MERTEN: “’People don’t know how you 

know until they know how much you 

care.’ I’ve used that as a theme 

throughout all of my administrative 

activities. For 16 years I helped with 

freshman move-in wearing a t-shirt that 

says ‘Alan Merten. President of GMU.’ 

The look on people’s faces when a car 

would drive up was amazement. That 

story went all over the place. ‘He helps 

with freshman move-in.’ I did it because 

I thought it would send a message 

that we cared. 

When a dean would call me and say that 

they were trying to hire such and such 

professor, I would call the person, ‘Hi, 

I am Alan Merten president of George 

Mason…’ and the phone would go dead. 

I’d say, ‘I understand that we are 

interested in having you come to GMU. 

I am interested in you coming to GMU 

as well.’ I learned over the years that 

people would say that one of the main 

reasons they came was that I called 

them. When one of our basketball players 

would be interviewed and asked why 

they came to GMU, they’d reply, ‘Great 

university, great program, great coach, and 

when I interviewed I met the president.’ I 

tried to meet with every basketball recruit 

and their mother and father. 

My wife and I have probably attended 

every summer picnic and holiday party 

for the plumbers, electricians, etc. 

We get invited and we go. We have 

a great time. I was walking across 

campus the other day and one of the 

construction workers shouted, ‘Thank you 

for your service.’ Now I have no idea 

who that came from. Someone saw me 

and wanted to take advantage of that. 

It is the touch that counts. It’s all about 

the people.” 

FISHER: “After 16 years at the helm, you 

have retired — at least you’ve moved to 

a new phase. What do you want your 

legacy at GMU to be” 

MERTEN: “I want my legacy to be built 

around the fact that I created an 

entrepreneurial university. I learned how 

to take advantage of location. I built on 

strengths and I realized the importance 

of telling the story. Whatever new 

things happen at the university, I hope 

that those four things will continue. 

I strongly believe that if you lose one 

of those, you could unwind what we did. 

I hope that the way we did things 

was as important as what we did — 

our style. We did something special 

here. I hope my legacy is the culture 

we created.” 

LEADERSHIP AND CHANGE 

FISHER: “What’s your definition of 

leadership” 

MERTEN: “Leadership consists of having 

goals and a vision. You have to have 

skills to get people to get things done 

— both what they want to do and some 

things that they don’t. Leadership is 

a balance between high tech and 

high touch. You’ve got to have the 

technological knowledge and the ‘warm 

and fuzzy’ abilities.” 

FISHER: “How do you define ‘success’ in 

life and professionally” 

MERTEN: “Much of success in life is 

balance. I have been married 45 years. 

I am a busy person but I had lunch 

with my wife today and played with my 

grandsons today. I reject this myth that 

to succeed professionally you have to 

pay a price personally. I made it clear 

as an administrator that if you asked me 

to work in the evening without my wife, 

the likelihood of me working was low. 

If Sally was invited, it was much higher. 

We didn’t want to lead two separate 

lives. I could never have done what 

I did without her. She is my confidant.” 

CONTACT Fall 2012 7

FISHER: “What advice would you give someone on 

being a leader” 

MERTEN: “I wrote a paper, So You Think That You 

Want to Be a University President It was about the 

characteristics of a leader: 

1. Be there. 

2. Be approachable, friendly, and eager to listen. 

3. The importance of the spouse. 

4. Have a short, clean message. 

5. Know when to act decisively and know when 

to wait. 

6. Expect frustration. 

7. Be agile. 

8. Surround yourself with smart, action-oriented 

people. 

9. Mind your business. 

10. Make a good match.” 

LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL’S IMPACT 

FISHER: “You grew up in Milwaukee and attended the old 

Lutheran High, graduating in the Wisconsin Synod class 

of 1959. Describe the challenges of those days. What 

are your best memories and highlights” 

MERTEN: “My strongest memories are of the teachers that 

I had, especially in science and math, and I remember 

my classmates. 

I was the last graduating class from the old building. 

[laughs] I was one of the few kids who ever helped tear 

down his old high school. It was a terrible building — it 

was awful — but we got educated. It taught me about 

the importance of facilities, which I’ve never forgotten. 

Having survived Lutheran High, I was going to make sure 

that I’d build better buildings. [laughs] Perhaps that helps 

explain why I built 125 buildings at GMU. 

Highlights at Lutheran High include getting elected to 

the student council and later student body president, as 

well as being selected for Badger Boys State. It was the 

combination of student council and math and science 

that were formative in my life.” 

VISION, ATTITUDE, AND FAITH 

FISHER: “From the time you assumed the presidency of GMU, 

you had a clear vision of what you wanted it to become. 

Describe that vision. How did you articulate that vision” 

MERTEN: “When I was selected to be the president of George 

Mason in January of 1996, I wrote a letter that was a page 

and a half long. That’s all. I recently found it. The first 

paragraph was: This is who you are. The second was: 

This is who I am. The third part: This is what we can do 

together. It wasn’t so much the vision of specific items 

as the potential that we had and the way that I was going 

to approach it. My approach was this: Have a vision. 

Constantly repeat the vision. Hire the right people. Get out 

of their way. Celebrate.” 

FISHER: “You are known for being an optimist, ‘the glass is half 

full’ kind of guy. How important is attitude in leadership and life” 

MERTEN: “Attitude is extremely important. People don’t want 

to work for people who have a crummy attitude. You have to 

have a positive attitude but you need to be pragmatic, too. 

I think that people appreciate the positive attitude that I have. 

Come to me with a problem and I’ll fix it. Come to me to 

whine and you don’t get much attention.” 

FISHER: How has your Christian faith played a role in your life 

MERTEN: “When I was in the Air Force, I was a military aide to 

the president [of the United States]. I had a perforated ulcer 

and I was rushed to Andrew’s Air Force base. I didn’t know if 

I was going to live. It was pretty tough and my faith helped 

me get through. That is also when I met my wife Sally, 

who was an Air Force nurse at Andrews. After I recovered I 

pursued her and we got married in 1967. The challenges and 

growth of that relationship are where I learned to really realize 

what being a Christian means. 

I think that my faith played a major role when I talk about 

stamina, passion, and a caring attitude. All three of those 

emerge from my faith. Your body is a temple of God. Passion 

comes from knowing who you are. [God wants us] to care 

about people. These three things that have driven me 

through life are all part of my faith.” 

FISHER: “What would you tell the students at WLHS today 

about how to take advantage of their high school years” 

MERTEN: “I’d say, first of all, develop your communication 

skills: writing, listening, reading, and speaking. No matter 

what you’re going to do, you need to have incredible 

communication skills. Secondly, seize leadership 

opportunities no matter how trivial they may seem. 

My sixth to eighth grade teacher at Jordan Ev. Lutheran 

School gave me my first responsibility — managing the 

milk money, fifteen or sixteen dollars a week. That’s 

where I started. When I look at my $900 million dollara-year 

budget [at GMU], I say ‘I’ve come a long way, 

baby,’ but that teacher trusted me with that responsibility 

for three years. Learn to be responsible.” 

Also, learn to take risks. At WLHS, you’re in a 

protective environment, failure won’t be terminal. 

It is alright to fail.” 

Merten has met with many dignitaries during his career; 

here he is with his wife, Sally, and the former 

Prime Minister of England, Margaret Thatcher.

Building Committee Formed to Explore Next Steps 

WLHS has received $2.78 million in gifts, pledges, and 

grants towards a goal of $5 to 7 million for Gifted 

for Praise. With this financial milestone achievement, 

forming a building committee to oversee architecture 

and construction planning is in order. 

“There is a long way between now and building,” 

stated Matt Bilitz, director of mission advancement. 

“There are a number of steps that need to take 

place — including final approval. But, developing 

architecture and construction plans takes a long time. 

We just want to get as many necessary preliminary 

items completed as possible, such as complying with 

City of Milwaukee regulations.” 

Expanding and Improving 

Outdated Facilities 

The Gifted for Praise comprehensive campaign plan 

is to expand the Fine Arts facilities, which includes 

the Practical Arts, construct Project Lead the Way® 

(PLTW) classrooms, and install air-conditioning to 

better serve Southeastern Wisconsin youth. WLHS has 

a rich history and a sterling reputation for excellence. 

However, some portions of the facility, which were built 

in the 1950’s, are antiquated and in poor condition. 

Building Committee Leaders 

Ken Krueger, retired 

COO of Bucyrus 

International, has 

agreed to serve as 

the chair and Larry 

Totsky, retired senior 

vice president of 

Artisan Partners, 

as the vice chair. 

The first meeting of 

the building committee 

is scheduled in 

November. 

Ken Krueger 

“I’m pleased that Gifted for Praise is moving 

forward,” Ken Krueger said. “This expansion will 

add so much value to WLHS when it is done. 

It is an honor to serve as chair of the building 

committee.” Bilitz adds to that, “Please remember, 

we need your prayers and continued support for 

Gifted for Praise to be successful. This is a 

multi-year endeavor.” 

During the initial planning stage of Gifted for Praise, a 

Master Site Planning Task Force agreed on conceptual 

drawings of Fine Arts facilities, an atrium/student 

gathering space, PLTW space, and a main entrance 

as designed by Korb Tredo Architects. Now with the 

formation of a Gifted for Praise building committee, it’s 

time to begin acting on the concepts. 

“An expanded center will give us 

further freedom of expression and will be 

a great improvement. I can’t wait to see 

the real thing and the impact it will 

have for the next generation.”

Moo Thaw Paw, happy to be at WLHS. 

moved up 5 grade levels in 1 semester! 

Moo Thaw Paw was born in a refugee camp in Thailand. 

Her parents had to flee from Burma during wartime for 

believing in Jesus. They lived in the jungle and were even 

slaves for a time before entering the refugee camp. She 

said she lived in a bamboo house with a leaf roof and was 

always fearful for her safety in the refugee camp. One 

example she could speak of was how the drinking water 

was often poisoned. 

When the U.S. government learned of these refugees, 

they found a way to help many of them. Moo Thaw Paw 

and her mother, father, two brothers, and sister were 

among the fortunate ones able to come to the U.S. 

They arrived in New York City first and Moo Thaw Paw 

thought she had landed in heaven. Then on to Chicago 

and then their new home town — Milwaukee. They now 

attend St. Peter Ev. Lutheran Church and Moo Thaw Paw 

is a sophomore at WLHS. 

She is excelling here — both spiritually and academically. 

Her freshman math teacher, Mr. Plamann, said, “Moo Thaw 

Paw was a delight to have in class. She worked very hard 

and had one of the highest scores in the Math Lab. Moo 

Thaw Paw started at WLHS at a fourth grade level. With 

the College Readiness Continuum (CRC) program she 

moved up to ninth grade math in just one semester!” 

College Readiness Continuum 

In the fall of 2011, WLHS launched the CRC. The program 

has exceeded expectations and helped a great number of 

students make strides to be better prepared for college. 

The CRC was developed from a bold vision generated 

by the WLHS board of directors and leadership team to 

provide every student, no matter their background or 

geography, with the highest quality instruction that meets 

their needs. 

CRC’s goal is to ensure that every student who enters 

WLHS below grade level will be prepared for ninth grade 

level work by their sophomore year. CRC is a yearround, 

comprehensive effort that may begin with summer 

preparation for incoming freshmen, continues with doubled 

instructional time in math and reading throughout the school 

year, and may conclude with summer credit recovery, if 

necessary. Students who are prepared for main-stream 

classes by their sophomore year will then be better 

prepared for college-prep work as upperclassmen. 

“We are pleased with the results from CRC,” said 

Ned Goede, principal. “Our experience has proven that if 

students are given individualized instruction by excellent and 

dedicated teachers, they can overcome academic challenges 

and achieve their greatest potential.” 

International Student Program 

First or second generation immigrants are not the only 

WLHS students who bring an international flair to WLHS. 

WLHS also accepts foreign born students who desire 

an American education into the International Student 

Program. These students attend on an F1 visa and live 

with host families who act as surrogate parents during the 

school year. This strong network of host families helps 

provide a loving, Christian home for these students while 

they attend WLHS. Each year more students have been 

added to the Program, and continued growth is anticipated. 

Activities during the school year are planned to introduce 

the students to the greater Milwaukee area and distinctly 

Wisconsin events. WLHS’ Program is designed with a 

great deal of individualized student attention and 

support. The Program includes a coordinator 

and counselor for academic and social 

support, English language support, 

academic tutoring, on-campus 

advocacy, and a student mentor 

program. While Moo Thaw Paw is 

not residing with a host family, 

she is accessing the benefits 

of the International Program. 

Thankful for WLHS 

Moo Thaw Paw says she 

likes to learn and see new 

things — such as snow 

and buildings. Her favorite 

subject is math and she 

wants to become a doctor 

someday. Of everything that 

she likes about the U.S., she 

likes knowing more about Jesus. 

Moo Thaw Paw is thankful for her 

safety and thankful to be at WLHS.

I Remember When ... 

by Jamie (Johnson) Anderson ‘99 

As a former WLHS student and 

cheerleader, I was filled with school 

spirit. When asked to write this column 

I was thrilled, because 13 years later, 

I am still proud to be a Viking! 

When I was in grade school, the 

anticipation of attending WLHS was 

exciting since my parents and sister 

went there. Additionally, I was often 

there for tournaments, camps, 

plays, musicals, and academic 

competitions. Remember when 

you couldn’t wait to be 

a Viking 

When I became a WLHS student, 

I experienced the thrill of athletic 

accomplishment by being part of 

a state champion cheerleading 

team and cheering for a state 

champion football team. The 

beautiful WLHS facilities made 

attending school a pleasure, 

and I was especially thankful 

the expansion was completed 

in time for my senior year. It 

was incredible to have such 

outstanding science and math 

classrooms, and the multipurpose gymnasium meant no more 

cheerleading practices on the auditorium stage! I also experienced 

many academic honors due to the WLHS teachers. Remember 

the pride you felt from your scholastic and extracurricular 

accomplishments at WLHS 

Jay Anderson and Amelia Grace, Jamie (Johnson) Anderson, 

with Jamie’s parents Jim (’70) and Debbie (’71) Johnson 

Finally, there was the Christian fellowship. We 

were blessed to start each day worshipping with our 

classmates and being reassured of God’s grace in our 

lives. The events during Homecoming, Festival, and 

the Our Hands for His Service month evoked many 

fun memories. I still remember staying up all night 

with friends in the parking lot before the last school 

day of senior year. We wanted to make the most of 

our final hours at the special place. Now, the thought 

of staying up all night is crazy as we have a sevenmonth 

old baby and every hour of sleep is precious! 

Do you recall your fondest memories with your 

WLHS friends 

Today, I am still proud to see the great things 

happening at WLHS. The students, faculty, and staff 

continue to be outstanding, and their accomplishments 

are amazing. My favorite cheer during high school 

was, “Are you proud to be a Viking” I hope as you 

remember your Wisco days and as you see how the 

ministry continues to be blessed, you will proudly 

reply,“YES WE ARE!”

ACTIVITIES 

SUCCESSFUL FALL DRAWS 

TO A CLOSE IN ATHLETICS 

Another fall athletic season 

is now in the books and the 

Wisconsin Lutheran Vikings 

again fared very well. 

The boys cross country 

team, hit hard with senior 

graduation after last year, 

managed to follow up their 

2011 state championship 

performance with a hardearned 

3rd place finish at the 

WIAA state championships 

this season — and not a 

senior in sight! Sophomores 

Kyler Lueck and Eric Brown 

led the way for the Vikes. 

The girls cross country team qualified for the WIAA state championships again 

this fall — their 11th straight trip to Wisconsin Rapids — and placed 5th in the 

state competition. 

The Viking football team captured their 11th conference title since 2000, and for the 

12th straight year earned a spot in the WIAA playoffs. A loss in the state quarterfinal 

game put an end to the Vikings’ season, with a sterling 10-1 record. Head Coach Kirk 

DeNoyer and his staff posted their 175th victory in an 18-year stretch since taking over 

the program. The Vikings are 175-43 (.821) in that time span. 

Girls Volleyball finished in 3rd place in the tough WLT Conference this season, with a 

10-4 record. The girls advanced to the WIAA regional final, where they lost in 4 sets 

to #1 ranked East Troy. 

Boys Soccer and Girls Tennis both completed their conference seasons in 7th place. 

THE MIRACLE WORKER WLHS 

presented The Miracle Worker on 

November 2, 3 and 4. This is the 

story of Annie Sullivan and her blind 

and mute student Helen Keller. 

Trapped in a secret, silent world, 

unable to communicate, Helen is 

violent and spoiled by her family. Only 

Annie realizes that there is a mind 

and spirit waiting to be rescued from 

the dark, tortured silence. Annie's 

success with Helen finally comes with 

the utterance of a single, glorious 

word: "water." Under the direction 

of Tanya Tranberg, The Miracle 

Worker was a moving performance 

with strong performances by the entire cast, in particular Marah Nitz who played Annie 

Sullivan and Grace Hanson who played Helen Keller. In preparation for the roles, some 

of the cast members went to VisionForward. Instructor Troy Hergert talked to them 

about what it is like to be blind and to incorporate into their acting behaviors that are 

common to the blind such as rocking or some sort of patterned movement.
