Alumni Alive
Blessings of an FVL Education
This school year marked the 70th year of Christian education at Fox Valley Lutheran High School.
While the campus location, courses offered, and programs have changed, the mission of FVL has remained the same—preparing students for lives of service and eternity.
Whether your graduation was in 2023 or 1963, it is fun reminiscing about times with friends in high school. So many memories during the high school years are created through cocurricular activities. Class of 2023 Salutatorian, Caylynn Dedow, recalls, “FVL is small enough for most people to know each other by name, which is what drew me to FVL. I was able to form close relationships with my teachers, whom I have grown to appreciate so much more throughout my time at FVL. FVL is also large enough for everyone to find an activity of their interest. Whether it’s athletics, leadership groups, music, or social clubs, each student has the ability to find something they are passionate about.”
Our youth continue to be bombarded by the ways of this world. It is truly a blessing to have a school where we can talk freely about sin and grace, forgiveness and salvation. Thank you, alumni for helping to pave the way for current and future students. May the Lord continue to bless this ministry.

Director of Mission Advancement
Quinn Jahns (Class of 2023), reflects on his time at FVL.
“FVL has truly been a blessing for me. Besides the academics, this school has given me so many opportunities to grow as a student, as an athlete, and as a person. From Peer Leadership Group to football and baseball, my amazing coaches and teachers have given me the space and opportunity to grow in myself as a Christian, connect with my peers, and learn how to be a leader.”
Quinn will continue his studies at UW-Stevens Point.

Gift Received
FVL has received a significant gift toward building the Timothy Trout Sports Center and outdoor tennis courts. It will be located to the east of the varsity soccer field. No additional debt will be incurred with this project. Plans are to have these new resources available to our students during the 2024-25 school year. Details and timelines will be shared on this web page as they are finalized.
We are thankful to God for this blessing to FVL's ministry!
