“Our Purpose is to Help Students
Internalize the Gospel Message
of Salvation in Christ Jesus”
Executive Director’s Message
Missions
A Note from Mark Maietta, Director of Missions
“Excellence”
This past year has been an amazing journey for Orange
Lutheran High School, and a huge personal blessing for
me. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to lead your
great school.
As our Strategic Executive Team has worked on a long
term strategic plan, one thing continues to rise up to the
top over and over again: Excellence. Our long-term core
values are stated as:
We provide for excellence in:
• Christian Character Development
• Academics
• Competition & Performance
Orange Lutheran is one of the finest high schools
in the nation for many reasons, but certainly our joint
commitment to being the best in all we do is one of them.
The Bible speaks of this in 2 Peter 1 where we are told
to make “every effort” to add to our faith. It then lists
some amazing qualities for us to constantly improve on
concluding that this “will keep you from being ineffective
and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.”
We strive for excellence because He gave it all for us.
Our purpose is “to help students internalize the gospel
message of salvation in Christ Jesus.” We want to be
excellent for Him!
The Missions Program at Orange Lutheran High
School is involved in communities locally, nationally and
internationally. Three times a year we partner with several
local churches and work in local, low income neighborhoods.
On these days we are doing construction projects, leading
activities with children, and directing prayer walks through the
community. In the last two years, we have worked with Lot318,
an inner city ministry in Placentia; Children’s Hunger Fund,
an international relief organization headquartered in Sylmar,
California; Giving Children Hope in Buena Park, California,
and the Anaheim Vineyard Food Pantry. Additionally, we
are currently in discussions with the Los Angeles Christian
Health Clinic and we are having our students create artwork
for the walls at the clinic and help with communication with
local politicians.
OLu’s Missions Program also comes alongside ministries
throughout the United States to represent Christ in local
communities. Since 2005, we have sent eight teams to New
Orleans to help with the recovery from Hurricane Katrina,
one group to Joplin Missouri after a tornado destroyed much
of that city, one to Galveston Texas following Hurricane
Ike, another to Billings Montana to minister on the Crow
Reservation, and three to Bishop California to partner with
the Paiute Tribe and local churches. During the 2012-2013
school year 370 people were involved in our ministry within
the United States.
In the OLu Missions Program we are increasingly finding
ourselves in more relational ministry opportunities whereas
early on, we were more focused on building projects. Now
we do some construction as well as working in elementary
schools, adult day care centers, food and clothing distribution
facilities and helping with community events.
Our focus internationally is similar to our ministry
goals here in the United States. We desire to partner with
organizations in the local communities we visit and come
alongside them to enhance their ministry. We work with our
partners in India, Kenya, Tanzania, the Dominican Republic,
Argentina, Northern and Southern China, Taiwan, Korea,
Vietnam and Romania. We are returning to each of these
locations to have a long-term impact for Christ.

“Orange Lutheran was more of just a blessing from a God, and an open door, rather than a choice
of mine. I transferred my sophomore year because my parents and I wanted me to have a better
opportunity to grow as a student-athlete, and as a man of Christ. Here at Orange Lutheran, I
feel home and I feel like I am loved and welcomed here. They treat me with respect and kindness
whenever I am somewhere, and they just want the best for us all.”

A Note from Leslie Smith, Our Principal
The 2012-2013 school year marked Orange Lutheran
High School’s 40th anniversary, fondly referred to as Lancer40.
Together, and united in Christ’s love, students, alumni, faculty,
staff, family, friends, and community leaders celebrated 40
years of ministry proclaiming the gospel message of salvation
in Christ Jesus, the purpose for which Orange Lutheran exists.
In 1973, Lutheran High School Association of Orange
County opened its doors to nearly 100 students, and in the
fall of 2012, the school welcomed the strongest enrollment in
Lancer history with 1,346 students. Over the course of the past
40 years, the growing success of the athletic programs resulted
in increased media attention and ultimately a new nickname:
Orange Lutheran High School. The increased public attention
continues to provide the school with the opportunity to
celebrate students’ success, but even more importantly it
provides the school with the opportunity to give God the glory
– a great platform to share the gospel!
The 2012-2013 school year was a particularly unique year
for the culmination of the accreditation self-study and six-year
visit especially as it consisted of a number of extraordinary
circumstances and opportunities including vacancies in key
executive administrative positions and the celebration of
Orange Lutheran’s 40th anniversary. On Saturday, February
9, 2013, after an exhaustive search, the Board of Directors
extended a Divine Call to Mr. Todd Moritz. The Lancer
community rejoiced when Mr. Moritz accepted the call as
Orange Lutheran High School’s seventh Executive Director.
During the vacancy in this key executive leadership
role, administration resolved to bridge the gap and lead as a
formidable team unified in Christ’s love committed to the
purpose and core values of the school. This resolution resulted
in a successful school year highlighted in April with a visit from
our accreditation committee that consisted of six educators
from various California schools (high schools and college
alike). They spent four days on campus visiting our classrooms,
reviewing documents, inspecting facilities and programs, and
talking with students, teachers, staff, Board members and our
parent Advisory group. The faculty and staff spent over 18
months preparing for this visit by gathering data and writing
about the many wonderful aspects of Orange Lutheran as well
as plans to continually improve.
As a result of this visit, the Western Association of
Schools and Colleges, also known as WASC, awarded Orange
Lutheran High School with a six-year clear term, the highest
accreditation status possible. The Accreditation report indicated
that the visiting committee was impressed with the wideranging culture of excellence at Orange Lutheran, the overall
operation of the school, and the pride and passion of students,
faculty and staff that is tangibly felt when walking the halls.
Specifically, the committee noted strengths in the following
areas: organization of student learning; support for student,
personal and academic growth; curriculum, instruction and
assessment techniques, and the development and utilization
of resources for excellence. In addition, as a result of this
visit, the National Lutheran Schools Accreditation (NLSA)
identified Orange Lutheran as a candidate to be recognized
as an exemplary school. The application process will conclude
with a visit in January 2014 for this special recognition.
A critical needs assessment of school operations identified
the need for additional athletic space to increase scheduling
options in order to provide academic benefit for students. As a
result, the School Board worked closely with the administrative
team to develop a building expansion plan that would include
a second gym, three additional classrooms, additional athletic
facilities and meeting spaces, and a large student union complete
with new and improved food services. This project and its
accompanying capital campaign called “Beyond Expectations”
were launched at the Ground Breaking ceremony on June 25,
2013.
“It is the happiest school I have ever set foot on. God is alive and moving.”
– Collin Massey ‘13

On Thursday, May 30, Orange Lutheran High School
celebrated its 38th commencement service for the Class of 2013.
Of the 313 graduating seniors, over 83% were accepted into
a four year institution, and 97% reported that they would be
attending a two or four year college from 122 different schools in
30 states and three countries, including Japan and China. Over
30% of the graduates reported that they would be attending
a Lutheran, Christian, or Catholic college or university, and
approximately 62% of them (190 students) reported that they
would be attending colleges in California. Many of these
students were offered scholarships. Over the past seven years,
Orange Lutheran students have increased their scholarship
acceptance by over 140%. The average scholarship per Orange
Lutheran student has increased 128% in the same seven years.
Specifically, the Class of 2013 accepted over two million dollars
in merit and talent scholarships, which is an increase of 59%
from 2011 and 12% increase from 2012. This total amounts to
an average scholarship of $16,124 per receiving graduate, and
95% of these scholarships are renewable for four years.
Orange Lutheran continues to successfully compete at the
highest levels in the CIF Southern Section and the Trinity
League, considered one of the most competitive leagues in the
nation. The 2012-2013 school year welcomed five new varsity
head coaches including the addition of boys and girls Water
Polo as a new sport to our school. Sixteen programs advanced to
compete in the CIF Playoffs. Boys’ Tennis finished as League
Champs; Boys’ Golf finished as CIF Runner Up; Boys’ Track
finished as CIF Champs. Over 30 athletes were recognized at
various college Letter of Intent Signing Day events and began
playing at the collegiate level during the fall of 2013. A large
number of athletes were honored with special recognitions
including all CIF and all Trinity League selections, media
“Athletes of the Week” and “Scholar Athletes of the Week,” as
well as various other leadership, academic, and character awards.
Orange Lutheran is more than just a high school; though
we are recognized for our innovative excellence and success
in many areas, what truly sets us apart and has enabled us to
continue to grow these past 40 years is our uncompromising
commitment to our purpose and our unity in Christ as a
Lancer family. The faculty and staff are committed to modeling
our Savior’s expression of love through serving and genuinely
caring for others. Orange Lutheran is a place where students
are FIRST! In everything we consider, plan, hope for, and
implement, we always put the students’ best interest at heart.
Orange Lutheran is unlike any other school because of
the people God uniquely assembles here. When we proudly
chant, “We Are OLu,” what we are really exclaiming is our
commitment to being united in Christ as a Lancer family!

parents persisted on me coming here because I could not get a better education anywhere else.”

We are told by Paul in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, “Remember
this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and
whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of
you should give what you have decided in your heart to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver.”

Those who have supported Orange Lutheran over the past
41 years have taken these words to heed. The last several years
have been the toughest we have seen in decades for our national
and global economy. The “new normal” is here. Fortunately, we
have not seen a decrease in giving as a result and the Lord
has truly blessed us with your continued generosity. In fact, the
number of those who donated has increased by 7% and the
total donations have increased by 20% (excluding campaign
specific contributions). This is indicated by graph 4.1.

In graph 4.1, please note that the red indicates the donations
received for our annual fund, which supports our operations
and provides the nearly $1.6 million we provide in financial
assistance to our students, as well as our other programs. The
gold for this year represents the donations received for our
Beyond Expectations Campaign, see page 15 for further details.
Approximately $3,300 had to be raised per student in order
to meet the tuition levels in place for the 2012-13 school year.
In addition to that amount, nearly $1.6 million was awarded in
financial aid in order to allow a total of 348 students to be able
to attend Orange Lutheran.
“The morals and values of OLu are great and the teachers and staff are unbelievable! They care
about you and show interest in your accomplishments. Orange Lutheran High School brings out
the best in you to become a champion for life.”
– Elijah Stanley ‘13

Thank You!
A Note from Rachel Eklund, Director of Student Activities
Each year OLu hosts two school wide Service Days that
focus on our local and global community. In the Fall, our
students partnered with our entire community of parents,
businesses, association and other churches in order to pack over
5,000 boxes for Operation Christmas Child through Samaritans
Purse. These boxes were shipped to several different countries,
providing a true Christmas gift for thousands of children who
would not have otherwise received one. All of these boxes
contained essentials, fun items and most importantly the
Gospel message of salvation through Christ Jesus.
The Spring service day is the Day of Dreams. Students with
special needs from area schools come to OLu to enjoy a day of
fun and love in Christ. The visiting students are paired with
an OLu buddy and they are given a schedule to follow that
consists of different activities including sports, art projects, and
a trip to the Nechita for some performing arts entertainment.
Each receives a framed picture with their buddy. This is truly
an incredible day where OLu students’ servants hearts come
through.
The senior class led project was “Task Force: Heroes”. The
students partnered with Healing Heroes Ministries to bring
support to wounded warriors at Camp Pendleton, raising
over $10,000. Over 100 boxes filled with gift cards as well
as essential information helpful to these soldiers and their
families as they transition back to civilian life were delivered
in April. Some of the Student Leadership Team seniors had
the honor of delivering the boxes to our heroes and having the
opportunity to personally thank them for their sacrifices.

What a blessing and privilege it is to have you as part of
our family! We understand that it is because of your prayerful
support that we are able to pursue our goals as a community
and as God’s children. Through your gracious encouragement
our students have benefited from a premier academic
environment and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
Additionally, our Beyond Expectations Campaign will add to
this environment, which provides our students with a wellrounded Christian education. Merely saying “thank you”
doesn’t seem to do justice to your efforts.
“Orange Lutheran is a great place to go because it is a school that really care about you and looks
for the best interest for you. I chose Orange Lutheran because I knew this school was a place where
I could feel comfortable at and share my religion with others and grow in it as well. It’s really a
second home and I love being here.”

“The campus is large enough to hold over 1,300 students yet it still is a close knit community where
everyone feels loved and appreciated. The term “Lancer for Life” is used around Orange Lutheran
a lot. After a year of attending I start to understand the slogan better because once you go to Orange
Lutheran you have an amazing pride for the school”
– Hope Pilkerton ‘16

Alumni Giving
A Note from Courtney Kruger, Alumni Relations Coordinator
The 2012-13 school year marked an incredible milestone
for Orange Lutheran High School alumni and friends with the
celebration of 40 years together as a Lancer family. It is my great
privilege and blessing to serve our alumni, while also ensuring
that today’s Orange Lutheran student – and tomorrow’s –
continues the tradition of Christ-centered excellence.
On Sunday, April 21, 2013, the Alumni Board hosted the
Second Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to honor
former Lancers for their athletic achievements and to celebrate
the rich tradition of competition and excellence at Orange
Lutheran. The 2013 Inductees honored at this momentous event
included Gaylord Greene ’88, Michael Fleischi ’88, Elizabeth
Reed Bonasangue ’89, Renee Wright Matheson ’91, Joe Juliano
’95, Laura Miklos Crawford ’01, and coach Jerry Simmons.
These athletic milestones are the drivers for the ambitious next
generation of Lancers, and we look forward to complementing
future Orange Lutheran athletes on their own achievements.
Orange Lutheran High School kicked off the year-long 40th
anniversary celebration of Lancer40 on Friday, August 24, 2012.
Together, alumni, legacy families, current parents, founding
families, and community leaders, gathered on campus to watch
the unveiling of a mural honoring the history of the school, as
well as special chapel service, featuring guest speakers and a video
montage. It was an amazing way to share our Lancer pride with
decades of Orange Lutheran friends and families.
The Lancer community continued to rejoice Lancer40
throughout the 2012-2013 school year. During Homecoming
week, students and friends decorated the hallways to represent
40 years of Christ-centered excellence. On Friday, November 2,
2012, Orange Lutheran hosted a special Homecoming pep rally
for current and former students, with a special “fly by” appearance
from the original Captain Pride! Mr. Jerry Simmons, former
faculty and alumni parent, passed the honorable baton to Mr.
Jeremy Nelson, class of 1995, to carry on the tradition of Lancer
pride! The students and alumni spent that evening at the muchanticipated varsity football game. During halftime, Orange
Lutheran welcomed former Homecoming Kings and Queens on
the field for a spectacular halftime show for all attendees. It was
a special, historic year to be a part of
uniting our past and present as we look
forward to the next chapters of Orange
Lutheran High School!
We thank you for your continued
support, and remember, together, we
are “Lancers for Life!
Courtney Kruger ’08

“Orange Lutheran has such a captivating atmosphere. I loved how Christ was part of the every
day routine at school, and ultimately decided Orange Lutheran was the right school for me.”

“I chose Orange Lutheran because I was truly pleased by its strong stance in Christianity and how
the school incorporated the same religious values that I held in its teaching. I could see that Orange
Lutheran truly supported each Christian value it stood for, and that it sought to glorify God and
serve His ministry by educating us, God’s people of the younger generation”
– Lauren Lee ‘16

“Orange Lutheran is such a great place to go to school because it is a place where God is first in
everything we do, whether starting class off with prayer, or just talking about our relationship
with Him. Also, there are not many high school teachers that want to get to know you on more
then just a student level, they really genuinely want to know you personally and about you.”
– Luke Langdon ‘14

“I think that Orange Lutheran is a great place to go to school because there are so many amazing
opportunities provided to succeed academically, socially, and, most importantly, spiritually. I can
honestly say that Orange Lutheran has overall exceeded my expectations of how a high school can
contribute to my personal growth. I have learned so much outside of the classroom that I know will
carry me through the rest of my life because I trust that I have a stable foundation in my Savior
Jesus Christ.”
