20 Years Strong — Join the Celebration!

Welcome to Crean Lutheran’s 20th academic year, a special milestone as we launch the 2026–27 Saints Fund.

We are truly grateful you are part of the Saints Family and look forward to connecting with you throughout the year. As we celebrate “20 Years Strong,” we thank God for His enduring faithfulness: “For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” Psalm 100:5

We invite you to partner with us in continuing this legacy. Your generosity, whether a one-time gift or ongoing support, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.

• The Saints Fund: Supports immediate needs across campus
• The Endowment Fund: Provides lasting impact for the future

Thank you for being part of this mission.

Student Club Applications

Student Club Applications open on Tuesday, September 8, and will be accepted until Monday, September 21. The club application will be sent out on Canvas when it opens. Before applying, please review the list of returning clubs for the 2026-2027 school year to see whether your club idea matches one that already exists. If so, we encourage you to reach out to the club president or visit their table during Club Rush to get involved, rather than submitting a new application.

All Crean Lutheran clubs must align with our school's mission of proclaiming Jesus Christ, and support who we are and what we believe. We can accept only 50 clubs each school year, so clubs should strive to address a need not already met by school classes, cohorts, co-curricular programs, or returning clubs when applying. The decision committee will review all club applications after the deadline closes. 

Review the following information: Club Requirements & Advisor Roles. Please be sure to ask a faculty or staff member to advise your club before listing them in the application. They must agree to the role before you submit the application.

Club Application Timeline:

• Tuesday, September 8 - Club Applications OPEN
• Monday, September 21 - Club Applications CLOSE at midnight
• Thursday, September 24 - Emails are sent to all clubs and advisors informing them whether your club has been accepted for the 2026-2027 school year.
• Tuesday, September 29 - Club Rush (Accepted Clubs Only)

If you have any questions, please email SLT@creanlutheran.org.

Make-Up Picture Day - Wednesday, September 9

Make-up Picture Day will take place on Wednesday, September 9, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Fireside Conference Room (located next to the front desk). This picture day is for students who were unable to attend Saints Day. Due to time restrictions, we are unable to accommodate picture retakes.

Students must wear a Crean Lutheran polo for their photo. We ask that students take their photo during an open block, passing period, or lunch. If they must take their photo during class time, we ask that they go at the beginning of the block and then visit the front desk for a pass to class.

Please note: This is our only make-up photo opportunity this year. Students who do not take a photo will not be included in the yearbook. For Seniors, this photo will only be used for their Student ID. Seniors will still need to take a Senior Portrait at the South Coast Photographic Studio for the yearbook.

If you have any questions, please email SLT@creanlutheran.org.

Back to School Night - Thursday, September 10

On Thursday, September 10, from 4:30 - 8:30 p.m., we are excited to welcome families to campus for Back-to-School Night. This year’s format has been updated, and the evening will be reserved for parents and guardians of Freshmen and transfer students. Families will have the opportunity to connect with teachers, learn more about the school year, and become familiar with the campus. We look forward to welcoming our newest Saint families for a special evening together!

If you have any questions, please email Sarah Moyer at sarah.moyer@creanlutheran.org.

Blood Drive - Thursday, September 17
