Celebrating

Years OF THE

70

ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 8, 2018, over three
hundred and fifty people gathered downtown Cleveland at The
Silver Grille to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Cleveland
Lutheran High School Association.

Guests enjoyed performances by a combined choir from
Lutheran East and Lutheran West, a delicious lunch at the
Ritz-Carlton Hotel's Silver Grille, and memorabilia from
the CLHSA, both high schools, and the original downtown
school.

The event featured the introduction of a short video,
which highlighted the past, present, and future of the
Cleveland Lutheran High School Association. Visit
www.clhsa.org/70thAnniversaryCelebration.aspx to view
the video online.

Each December, the Cleveland Lutheran Educational
Endowment Fund (CLEEF) presents its Outstanding Lutheran
School Leadership Award to an individual who exemplifies
dedication to Christian education. The 2018 recipient was Rev.
Dr. David Buegler, who has served in a variety of roles at the
CLHSA and Association churches. On behalf of the
entire Northeast Ohio Lutheran community, we thank Rev. Dr.
Buegler for his many years of commitment to our schools and
mentorship of our young people.

The highlight of the celebration was a keynote speech made by
Ms. Lisa Fenn (Lutheran West Class of 1992). Lisa, a Cleveland
native and product of Lutheran schools, found herself working
at ESPN after college. She became a successful feature producer,
telling the stories behind sports and athletes, and is now a six-
time Emmy award winner and three-time winner of the Edward
R. Murrow Award. Lisa shared her personal and professional
journey, which led her down a path that she quickly realized was
not the path on which she had planned, but rather the path God
had laid out for her.
