A message from LPA High School Principal Mr. Meyer - School Communication
Another great week for the books! Take a look at this week's #RaiderSnapshot for a quick recap. We're celebrating our students' hard work in math, art, and PE, and giving a shoutout to our outstanding Students and Staff of the Week. We also loved seeing our seniors begin their final chapter at LPA with Senior Sunrise and the creativity in our sidewalk art!
Our Student Council put on an amazing Dodgeball Tournament for our 7-12 grade students to celebrate the first week of school! Congratulations to our Sophomore class on their victory - and thank you to Student Council for putting this on for us. What a fun way to kick off the school year! GO RAIDERS!

Fishing League Recap June 26th
The second event of the season, on Big Cormorant Lake, started off wet and windy but turned out to be another evening full of hooksets! On June 26th, 27 boats from LPA, Rothsay, Perham and Hillcrest Lutheran hit the water. The LPA Raiders took 3 of the top 8 spots at this event, which was also the host event for LPA.
There was a three way tie for first, but Carter Poegel and Brock Anderson with their captain, Bernie Poegel, took 1st place. Lucas Keizer and Kaeson Mjoness with their captain, Andy Mjoness, took 2nd place. Austin Kelly and Grady North with their captain, Colby Poegel, took 4th place. Colby is a former LPA Raiders Fishing Team student angler who has joined the team in a boat captain role this year.
The remainder of teams all scored fish for the night, with a handful being a few points out of placing in the top 8. As mentioned, this was our host event. A big THANK YOU to the parents, boat captains and volunteers who were there to help with serving Walking Tacos and doing the boat valet service at the event!

LPA Raiders Fishing League Team Recap 6/19
After delaying their first event due to weather, the LPA Raiders Fishing Team had a great start to their season in the Heart O Lakes Fishing League! Last Thursday, June 19th, on Lake Lida, the school fished with teams from Perham, Rothsay, and Hillcrest Lutheran Academy, which is a switch from previous years. There were 29 boats combined from all the schools, and every boat caught and scored fish, which was great to see. Awards are given to the top 8 teams at each event.
The teams from LPA did very well, taking four of the top eight spots!!! Easton Welter and Aaron Willie, with captain Cody Hill, took 1st place. Carson Ullrich, with captain Jon Ullrich, took 2nd place. Brody Hanson, with captain Paul Hogenson, took 3rd place. Addison Welter, with captain Sammy Olson, took 8th place. Great job to all these anglers and captains!!! Lucas Keizer, Kaeson Mjoness, Isaac Wachsmuth, and Michael Blahut, with captains Andy Mjoness and Jerry Erickson, were just outside of the top 8. The remainder of the teams from LPA were able to put fish in the boat, but were outside of the top 8 as well. We’ve got a good mix of new and returning student anglers this year.

We would like to shout out our wonderful staff members who spend so many hours preparing in many different ways for graduation! So much work goes into planning and executing the ceremony, and coordinating with our Seniors. Please help us give a HUGE thank you to these individuals who are invaluable to the process throughout the year!
We are ready to go, and we hope you join us for graduation this Saturday at 2:00 PM in the high school gymnasium.
Our LPA Seniors have had a whirlwind couple of days! Last day of high school on Wednesday, and they organized a Senior Lock-In at the high school for that night. Much fun and laughter was had!
Special shout-out to Taya Carlson for organizing the majority of the lock-in, Thor Erickson for organizing Zorbaz pizza for us, Tim and Jackie Godfrey who helped check bags, and to our AMAZING (and brave) chaperones: Mrs. Meindl, Mr. Kangas, Ms. Moller, and Mr. Conrad.
They all woke up bright and early for graduation rehearsal and a walk through the elementary school on Thursday morning. Our seniors got to reminisce on their younger years, and inspire younger LPA students to strive towards graduation in their futures!
Our students are ready to graduate - please help us celebrate them, and send them off into the world beyond high school!
Yesterday, LPA middle and high school students worked together to serve the community for our annual Day of Caring! It was a beautiful day to be outside.
A special thank you to TEAM Industries for providing us with yummy snacks for the day!
