The Signal
- LCS ALUMNI
It’s always a joy to reconnect with our alumni family, and this newsletter is one of the many ways we’re able to stay connected throughout the year. Whether it’s been a few years or a few decades, you are an important part of the LCS story. We hope this issue helps you feel connected, encouraged, and reminded of the foundation you were part of building.
Homecoming 2026
Homecoming 2026 will take place on Friday, October 2 and you're invited! We can't wait to welcome alumni back to campus for an evening of connection, fellowship, and celebration.
Gates open at 5:30 pm - be sure to stop by the Alumni Tent! Graduates from across the decades can gather, reconnect with classmates, share memories, and celebrate all that God has done through Lenawee Christian School.
We look forward to honoring alumni - with special recognition for the Class of 1987 celebrating its 40th reunion, the Class of 1997 celebrating 30 years, the Class of 2007 celebrating 20 years, and the Class of 2017 celebrating 10 years since graduation.
We look forward to celebrating with you this fall!
Celebrating 50 Years
As we look ahead to celebrating 50 years of LCS at Homecoming 2026, we would love your help in bringing our history to life! If you have any vintage LCS gear, photos, memorabilia, or special keepsakes from your time at LCS, please consider sharing them with us! These pieces help tell the story of God’s faithfulness through generations of students and families.
If you’re willing to contribute or have something we could feature, please reach out to us at communications@lenawee.org. If you would be comfortable allowing your item to be displayed, we would be honored to showcase it at the Alumni Tent during the celebration. Thank you for helping us celebrate all that LCS has been, and continues to be!

Athletics
Welcoming New and Returning Coaches to Cougar Athletics
Leading the football program is Jacob Baker ('14), who steps into the role of Interim Head Varsity Football Coach. As an LCS alumnus, Jacob brings a passion for Cougar athletics and a deep connection to our school community. On the basketball court, Leann Porter ('11) joins the program as JV Girls Basketball Coach. We are thrilled to see another alumna investing in the next generation of student-athletes.
We are also excited to welcome back Jamie Salenbien as Head Varsity Girls Basketball Coach. Jamie's connection to LCS runs deep, with four children who are Cougar alumni: Dani ('20), Bree ('21), Tyler ('24), and Jaxon ('26). His commitment to Christian education and athletic excellence has made a lasting impact on our community.
Please join us in welcoming these coaches as they mentor, encourage, and lead our student-athletes in the year ahead. Go Cougars!

Carry It Forward: Connect A Cougar
You once walked these halls, now you have the opportunity to help another student do the same.
Through our Connect a Cougar program, alumni have the opportunity to make a lasting impact by helping provide a Christ-centered LCS education for students in need. Beyond financial support, you'll have the opportunity to personally connect with a student - encouraging them, praying for them, and following their journey throughout the school year.
This is more than a gift, it’s a chance to carry forward the same mission that helped shape you. Thank you for continuing to invest in what God is doing through LCS, past, present, and future.
With gratitude,
Mekeisha Black
Director of Advancement & Enrollment
