STUDENT LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

AMBASSADORS

When representing Orange Lutheran, the members of the Ambassadors Team exemplify the definition of a “Lancer.” This group of students operates as liaisons for the school-community relations at events held on and off of campus, where the general public, as well as family and friends of the school, are present. Operating as the face of OLu, these students serve the school via hands-on-leadership that assists in telling the greater story of OLu through student voices.

Sophomores through seniors can participate in the Ambassador Leadership Team.

ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY

Orange Lutheran’s Associated Student Body (ASB) serves the student body, faculty, community, and God in several ways throughout the year. To encourage student participation at Orange Lutheran High School and cultivate communication between the students, faculty, and staff, ASB is chosen annually. ASB is comprised of elected and appointed positions and meets regularly during a class period, as well as outside of class, with the Activities Department faculty to discuss student concerns, organize school activities, promote school spirit, encourage appropriate student conduct, and encourage service to society.

This program is for freshmen through seniors.

DIFFUSION

CREATIVE WORSHIP

Responding to Christ’s invitation to love Him with the whole of our being (Mark 12:30), Creative Worship students explore worship through the lens of Biblical truth, creative collaboration and musical excellence.  Students in this class serve as Orange Lutheran’s Worship Leadership Team. Together, students plan and lead weekly chapels, participate in concerts, community performances and other service opportunities. The core of the experience is designed to equip students to lead worship, point people to Christ, and help each student-leader grow and respond to God’s transforming grace.

LANCER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC LEADERSHIP TEAM

MISSIONS

The Missions Program seeks to transform the world through transforming the lives of our students.

Multi-sport athletes must discuss availability to participate in Missions Trips with their coaches.

ROOTED

Rooted is a program where cultural identity is celebrated, discussed, shared, and explored. It gives students a supportive space to speak into campus culture and helps students develop self-advocacy and skills to make a difference.

SPIRITLEADERS

Spiritleaders promote, increase, and lead school spirit. They are to be exemplary in moral and spiritual conduct and to uphold the high standards of Orange Lutheran High School as they serve as representatives. To represent Orange Lutheran as a Spiritleader is a great honor and a heavy responsibility to be carefully considered. Spiritleaders must be deeply committed to building school spirit and to making the program a success, exemplify good sportsmanship at all times, and conduct themselves in a manner that will be a Christian witness and a credit to Orange Lutheran High School.
