What did you love most about CLHS?
I loved three things that CLHS offered me. 1) The ability to participate in a wide variety of activities, from cross country and baseball to choir and JROTC. 2) Likeminded peers who were interested in growing both in the faith as well as in service to one another. 3) A place to learn and grow in the faith in every classroom and conversation to prepare me for the world today.
What advice would you pass along to students?
Take advantage of every opportunity you are able in high school and college. Travel, study and pray. Work hard to develop good habits that will stay with you the rest of your life. Most of all, go to church. Every Sunday, even in college. Your faith is the most important thing that has been given to you. Nurture it by going to church and reading God's Word. Cherish by living a life devoted to serving to God and those in your life. Many will come into your life to try to replace the truth with something else. Don't let them. Jesus Christ is the truth, and He is faithfully even when we are not. He forgives and continues to hold you up in the faith. May His peace and forgiveness be with you always.
