Racine Lutheran High School graduate Michael Gray was interviewed by CBS 58 anchor April Dovorany.  Gray, and classmate Hezekiah McCoy, recently completed the Youth Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Boot Camp.

Gray and Boot Camp Coordinator Todd Nienhaus will be featured on the Racine & Me television program to be aired Saturday, July 2, at 6:30 a.m. on CBS affiliate WMLW:  Time Warner Cable and ATT channel 7 or 1007, DirecTV and Dish network channel 49, Charter channel 8, and over-the-air/antenna channel 49.1.

Racine Lutheran High School has hired Stephen Shaffer as its new head varsity girls basketball coach. Coach Shaffer comes to RLHS with more than 20 years of high school coaching experience, with the last 13 years being Melody Owsley’s top assistant at The Prairie School. He was part of the staff that won the 2004 state championship and that also made a 2013 state semifinal appearance. Shaffer was previously a coach at RLHS from 1995-1997 in the girls basketball, baseball, and softball programs. He was the head girls basketball coach for the 1996-97 season, and he also had coaching stints at Union Grove and Catholic Central high schools. Shaffer is a member at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.

“We are excited to have Coach Shaffer leading our girls basketball program,” states Jason Block, RLHS athletic director. “He brings experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm that will help take our program to the next level. He will help our student-athletes to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.”

Shaffer replaces Ben Walther, who has led the girls program the past 8 years and leaves with the second most wins in program history. Walther has accepted a call to Sierra Lutheran High School in Carson City, Nevada.

Hi Everyone!

Racine Lutheran High School students listened to first-person stories told by Mendel (Manny) Chulew, a Jewish immigrant from Poland who survived the Holocaust.  Chulew was featured at the school’s quarterly CLASH assembly. CLASH stands for Changing Lives And Serving Him, and it allows speakers from the community to share personal experiences with the students.

Mr. Chulew and his daughter, Natalie Chulew, posed for a picture with RLHS teacher Nick Gasau and students Liz Nelson, Lydia Balke, Sophia Drager, Andrea Mares and Niko Burton.

Accompanied by his daughter, Natalie Chulew, Holocaust survivor Manny Chulew shared memories from his childhood with the RLHS students.

Racine Lutheran High School varsity golf team members Ben Jung, Jack Manna and Trenton Tenner were selected as Academic All-State Honorees by the Golf Coaches Association of Wisconsin (GCAW).

GCAW described the three golfers as student-athletes who serve as great examples to others, proving that academic and athletic successes are not mutually exclusive.

To be considered, students must meet the following criteria: a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.25, participation in at least 75 percent of their team’s varsity matches, and are at least a sophomore in high school.
