Alumni Summer 2022 Update

Do you remember your high school graduation? Whether it was 5 or 50 years ago, it is a milestone to remember. On Saturday, May 28, we welcomed 163 graduates to the family of over 8,000 Fox Valley Lutheran High School alumni! As we look forward to our 70th year as a school, the FVL community is excited to continue our mission of "preparing students for lives of service and for eternity."

Students appreciate that the faculty and staff are living our mission and core values.

“One of the things I like most about FVL is the relationships with teachers. You can tell that in every classroom, the teachers really care about you and your success while in high school and after.”

- Stella T., Class of 2023

"The FVL culture is a faith-focused environment. It's really important that Jesus is at the core of everything we do, and that is seen everywhere throughout our school."

- Mia S., Class of 2023

FVL is blessed to have a record number of students enrolled for the 2022-2023 school year. Admission numbers in our Federation PreK-8 schools are on the rise, and FVL is also seeing an increase in transfer student enrollment. What a blessing to take more teens on a journey to the cross and the empty tomb to see God’s power and grace!

With the blessing of a higher enrollment also comes challenges. As of July 1, over 700 students are enrolled for Christian education at FVL. If current projections hold, over the next five years that number could grow to nearly 800 students, but we have a current locker capacity of 750. A growing number of students also means a higher need for tuition assistance.

Your support makes a huge impact on this ministry. As we enter our 70th year, please prayerfully consider contributing to FVL—your time, talents, and prayers make a difference! I look forward to continuing to work with you to serve alumni, current and future students of Fox Valley Lutheran, and the FVL Federation.

2022-23 Projects

Your donation goes to the project of your choice!

Roof Replacement (scroll down for graphic)
Until recently, FVL has been able to patch our aging roof, but given the cost of annual maintenance, this is not the most cost effective method. Phase 1 of roof repair has been fully funded, but must is still needed to complete Phases 2-3. Repairs are projected out through Summer 2024.
Parking Lot Replacement (scroll down for graphic)
The northwest lot repairs have been fully funded, but the remainder of the parking lot will also need to be replaced. This is to ensure all campus visitors are safe entering and exiting the parking lot.
Building Modifications for Growing Enrollment
Projections show within five years, FVL's enrollment could grow to nearly 800 students. The building currently has a locker capacity of 750.
