PREGAME

A Letter from the Head of School Welcome Crusader Fans,

Whether you are new to the Concordia community or a longstanding community member, it is my privilege and honor to welcome and thank you for your dedication and support. Throughout our 41st year of ministry serving families in the greater Houston metro, we remain committed to cultivating a vibrant student culture that empowers students with opportunities to serve, lead, create, connect, and cultivate their God-given talents and passions within a healthy community. On campus, we strive for high standards of next level excellence, empowered support, and holistic care that permeate throughout our valued community. Most importantly, Concordia continues to faithfully pursue our mission in building lives of excellence upon the foundation of Christ. Well known for a longstanding tradition of Christ-centered excellence, Concordia Athletics,

Fine Arts, and Agriculture programs compete in the largest class of the Texas Association of Private & Parochial Schools (TAPPS) 6A division. Nearly 75% of students are engaged in the different programs, and each is afforded the opportunity to continue to experience some of the finest facilities and Christ-centered leaders across the competition. Concordia students continue to receive accolades at the local, district, regional, and state levels, and many continue to be recognized by top colleges and recruiters. Beyond college, Concordia graduates have competed at the professional level in the MLB and Olympic Games, and other professional affiliations nationally and abroad. Overall, this recognition has provided opportunities and exposure for the mission of Concordia to be advanced and to bring glory to God in all endeavors. The Lord continues to bless Concordia in great and mighty ways, and we give Him thanks and praise for each student, family, and staff member who He has called to this special ministry since 1984. As we grow together into our future, we remain united in our storied history and valued traditions in striving to faithfully equip Crusaders to impact the world for Christ. Go Saders! Mr. Todd Eklund Head of School
