At Zion Lutheran School Belleville, we are very proud of our alumni and it is our goal to do an alumni spotlight each week so we can share the good news of what some of our former Zion Lions have been up to.

I am currently attending Concordia University – Texas and will be graduating in December with a multidisciplinary degree. I plan on using that degree to teach 7th-12th grade History in an Austin area school district.
How did Zion Lutheran School influence you?
Zion influenced me through all of the teachers and staff being so supportive of me in my time at Zion and beyond. That helped me realize I want to be able to do that for students in the future and ultimately led me to pursue a career in the education field.
Also…
I just want to thank the Zion family for continuing to be extremely supportive as I finish up college, even though I live so far away. Hearing from y’all always puts a smile on my face!
