The 2023-2024 school year marks the 50th anniversary of our beloved Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School. As we look to the past, we see God’s hand of blessing and the impact this ministry has had on so many families and students.
In many events throughout the 2023-2024 school year, we will focus on God’s blessings on KML and this milestone anniversary.
This page will continue to be updated with information about KML’s 50th anniversary and related events as it becomes available.
