Please click here for information about Senior Photos for the yearbook.

Students and parents agree: Racine Lutheran has a great yearbook. Every student really would like to have a yearbook, and it is something they will treasure for a lifetime. This is a one-of-a-kind full-color publication filled with over two-thousand pictures. The Citadel contains 160 pages of photo memories of all students, teachers, friends, teams, activities, classes, and special events — all put together with care through hundreds of hours of work by the publications staff. Almost every student orders a yearbook, so don’t be left out. This is really A YEAR TO REMEMBER, and the yearbook records all the school year’s memories for you.

Every year we ask each student to donate at least $10 to go towards a big-ticket item to offer our guests during the Voice Auction at our annual Grand Gala (Feb.8, 2025). In the past, the combined donations have allowed us to purchase items such as a “Backyard Theater” package, Trek bikes, Cedarburg overnight getaway, a Blackstone grill, and more! Donations can be made easily and safely here, http://weblink.donorperfect.Com/StudentGrandGalaDonation, or they can be brought to the main office. Thank you in advance for your support!

Re-enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year kicks off on Monday, February 3rd. Communication will be sent via JMC to all current 9th, 10th, and 11th-grade families.

Every family is expected to volunteer at least 20 hours of service each school year (July 1-June 30) to directly benefit RLHS. PLEASE NOTE- RLHS student responsibilities, commitments, and expectations that are part of a sport or club (NHS, Student Council, Student Ambassadors, team events) do not count toward the 20 RLHS service hours.

We ask that six of those hours are spent volunteering at our Thrift Shop. The Thrift Shop is open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and is looking for help during morning shifts (10 a.m.-1 p.m.) and afternoon shifts (1 p.m.- 4 p.m.). Students, parents, grandparents, and friends of RLHS are needed to sort, clean, price and display merchandise and work in the store. One adult and one student, or two adults, are needed for each shift. SATURDAY VOLUNTEERS ARE ESPECIALLY NEEDED!

To sort, clean, price and/or help with incoming donations – call Pat Hellenberg 262.498.8851. To help with checkout/cashier – call Barb Tertel 262.632.1070.

Call Peggy Groth 262.498.2161 or Judy Lamers 262.321.4095.

Once your family completes 20 hours, your student will receive a gift certificate for a free lunch at RLHS! Additionally, at the end of the school year, the three families with the most volunteer hours will be awarded a $50 credit to their RLHS school account, which can be applied toward various expenses such as lunch balance, athletic fee, yearbook, parking pass, and more!

For safety reasons, no outside food or drinks will be allowed into the gymnasium during athletic events. Only food and drinks from our concession stand will be allowed.
