Mark Brown
Lutheran North
Social Studies Teacher
WE WILL MISS YOU!
We wish Godspeed to Mr. Mark Brown Lutheran North Social Studies Teacher, who is leaving us this summer to accept a Call to become the Principal at Trinity Lutheran School in Clinton Township. Mr. Brown has taught at Lutheran North since 2017. We have been richly blessed by Mr. Brown’s ministry here at Lutheran North, and we are grateful for the gifts he has shared with us!
Thank you to the LHN family and community for the past four years. I thank God for the opportunity to teach and coach at LHN, for the conversations and relationships formed with students, parents, and staff, and for the ministry that happens here daily. Four years seems like it has flown by, and I believe it is because I have enjoyed coming in every day to an environment that is thriving and to a place where God's grace and love are present and lived out. I will miss the daily interactions with students here and pray that God will continue to do the inevitably more at LHN, more than we could ask or imagine!
Please join us in wishing Mr. Brown and his family the best and take the time to learn a little bit more about him through our Staff Spotlight 20 Questions below!!
