Blessings, Michael Hardies
WE WILL MISS YOU!
We wish Godspeed to Mr. Michael Hardies, Lutheran North Theology Teacher, who is leaving us this summer to relocate to Boca Raton, Florida. Mr. Hardies has taught at Lutheran North since 2006, and is the proud parent of three alums (Rachel ’16, Caroline ’18 and Caleb ’20). We have been richly blessed by Mr. Hardies’ ministry here at Lutheran North, and we are grateful for the gifts he has shared with us!
Wow!!! 13 years sure flew by.
13 years of having the privilege of teaching over 1700 students.
13 years of praying together, learning together, and laughing a lot.
Through the smooth times and even the tough times, the main thing has remained the main thing: that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
Thank you for 13 great years. LHN will forever be a part of my heart. It is good to be a Mustang. To God Be The Glory!!! Always.
Please join us in wishing Mr. Hardies and his family the best and take the time to learn a little bit more about him through our Staff Spotlight 20 Questions below!!
