Calvin Johnson Jr. Foundation
and L’Anse Creuse High School
L’Anse Creuse High School is proud to be the first school launching
a partnership with the Calvin Johnson Jr. Foundation, Inc (CJJRF).
The partnership will include a football camp, health fair, educational
sessions, grooming and etiquette, and physical fitness.
CJJRF is a non-profit organization
founded in 2008 by Calvin Johnson
Jr, All-Pro NFL wide receiver of the
Detroit Lions. The mission of the
Foundation is to change the mind set
of youth from struggle to survival,
from poor self-esteem to excitement
of life, from dependent thinking to
goal setting self-sufficiency, and from
hopelessness to empowerment. The
Foundation emphasizes that these goals can be achieved though
education, leadership training, football camps, mentorships, student
scholarships, and financial assistance to community organizations.
L’Anse Creuse High School Athletic Director, Orlando Medina,
is thrilled to work with the Foundation. “Anytime you have an
opportunity to impact the lives of students through education, health,
and sports it’s exciting,” said Medina. “The program’s focus on
shaping students into quality citizens makes the program even more
enticing. ‘Catching Dreams,’ that’s what it’s all about.”

L’Anse Creuse Public
Schools is embarking on
an ambitious plan
to shape the future
of our district.
The strategic
planning process
will set priorities, focus energy and
resources, ensure that employees and
other stakeholders are working toward
common goals, and assess the district’s
direction in response to a changing
environment. This is truly an exciting
time for the entire community as each
one of us has the opportunity to make a
difference for our students.
L’Anse Creuse is an exemplary district
that is focused on student success.
It is our responsibility to provide the
support and resources needed for each
child to achieve their personal best. We
embrace this opportunity to reevaluate
our priorities and objectives to ensure
we are aligned with the demands of
an ever changing global economy. We
request your participation, insight and
thoughtful perspective as we challenge
our current status in public education.
The open community forum, Shaping
Success, is set for Saturday, January
18 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the
John R. Armstrong Performing Arts
Center. The two hour event will begin
with a motivational and enlightening
presentation from well known Oakland
University professor and public
education advocate, Dr. C. Robert
Maxfield. Following the presentation,
attendees will break into small groups
to evaluate the district’s strengths,
challenges, vision, mission, and beliefs.
The information collected will act as the
foundation for the new L’Anse Creuse
Public Schools Strategic Plan.
We encourage everyone to attend
the open forum. We are inviting staff,
parents, residents, local business
owners, and political leaders because we
all know that a thriving public school
district and a prosperous community go
hand in hand.
I look forward to seeing you on
January 18 to share in this exciting
endeavor. Thank you for your continued
support of our schools and have a happy
and healthy holiday season.

L’Anse Creuse Public Schools Placed on the
Annual AP® District Honor Roll for Second Year
L’Anse Creuse Public Schools is one of 477 school districts
nationwide being honored this year by the College Board
with placement on the Annual AP® District Honor Roll.
To receive this designation a district must simultaneously
increase access to Advanced Placement® coursework while
increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3
or higher on AP Exams. According to the College Board,
achieving both of these goals is the ideal scenario for a
district’s AP program because it indicates that the district
is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared
students who are likely to benefit most from rigorous AP
course work.
More than 90% of colleges and universities across the
U.S. offer college credit, advanced placement or both for a
score of 3 or above on an AP Exam — which can potentially save students and their families thousands of
dollars in college tuition.
“We are very proud L’Anse Creuse Public Schools has been placed on the Annual AP District Honor
Roll two years in a row,” said Superintendent Jackie Johnston. “This national recognition exemplifies our
continued focus on rigor and academic achievement. Congratulations to the students, staff, and parents!”
Middle School – East
Honors Veterans
L’Anse Creuse Middle School – East held their
Annual Veteran’s Day Assembly on November
11. The school invited veterans from all over the
community for breakfast and to be honored by
students. Over 40 veterans attended including,
Selfridge Air National Honor Guards, Purple Heart
Recipients, and P.O.W.’s.
Honored guests included Lieutenant Colonel
Lawrence Milben of the Tuskegee Airmen, and
Lieutenant Colonel Mac Crawford and Lieutenant
Colonel Chad Rauls of the United Sates Air Force.
The assembly featured the Presentation of Colors
by the Selfridge Honor Guard, a Flag Folding
Ceremony, a Coining Ceremony, and patriotic
performances by the L’Anse Creuse Middle School –
East band, current student leaders, and alumni.
“It is very important the veterans are recognized
for allowing us the privileges and freedoms that we
have today. We are very proud to honor these living
legends among us,” said Science Teacher, Dr. Heidi
M. von Oetinger-Reed.
Suicide Prevention at
Middle School - Central
Dennis Legghio, founder of Know Resolve, spoke to
a gymnasium filled with L’Anse Creuse Middle School
– Central students about youth suicide prevention.
Legghio opened up to students about his personal
experiences with suicide and depression. His goal
is to give students a new perspective and provide
them with the resources needed to cope with stress,
depression, and emotional overload.
Fox 2 News Detroit (WJBK) filmed the presentation
and interviewed several students for a story featuring
Legghio and Know Resolve that is set to air during
the holiday season. The story was filmed at L’Anse
Creuse Middle School – Central due to its historical
significance, it was the first school Legghio presented
to in 2007.
For more information about Dennis Legghio and
Know Resolve visit www.knowresolve.org.

L’Anse Creuse High School
– North Quarterback Awarded
Numerous Titles
L’Anse Creuse High
School – North quarterback,
Sean Koski, had a
phenomenal season. This
was a record setting year for
Koski. He is third all-time in
the state for passing yards
in a season, 3,818 yards,
and fourth in the state for
touchdowns in a season with
41 touchdowns. With his
leadership the Crusaders
won eight of ten games and
went to the Division 1 firstround playoffs. Koski was
also named “Macomb County
Player of the Year” (Macomb
Daily), “Metro Detroit
Offensive Player of the Year”
(MLive), and was a top four
finalist for the “Michigan
High School Football Player
of the Year” (MLive).
“Sean did a great job
in leading the team and had a record setting season,” said Crusaders
Football Coach, Anthony Kiner. “The best thing about Sean is how much
of a team player he is and how much he cares for his teammates. He
wanted every thing to be about the team not himself. He is a great person
and was a pleasure to coach.”
Currently, Koski is on the Associated Press Division 1-2 All-State team.
He has received offers from several colleges; he has not yet committed to
a school.
