FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Concordia Lutheran High School and B.L.A.S.T., the Black Lutheran Alumni Scholarship Team, will host their 2024 Black History Month assembly on Thursday, February 1 at 9:30 a.m.
B.L.A.S.T. continues its tradition of introducing Concordia students to alumni who’ve achieved success during and after their time at the high school. This year’s assembly features D.J. McCall, class of 2014, and Thomas Starks, class of 2013, who were both key players on the CLHS Boys Basketball state runner-up team in 2013. Both went on to play basketball in college. McCall played professionally including a stint with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Following their presentations, students will have an opportunity to ask questions of the two speakers. Students will be able to meet one-on-one with the graduates during a Lunch and Learn session.
B.L.A.ST. representatives will announce applications for scholarships are being accepted from African American students for the 2024 graduating class. The B.L.A.S.T. Trailblazer scholarships are named after the first African American Concordia graduates, Peggy Greer Calloway (1954) and Richard Ridley Jr. (1956).
