Anthony also enjoyed playing Varsity Golf for two years and Junior Varsity Basketball for two years.

Anthony, what is your favorite thing about Lutheran Northwest?

My favorite thing about Lutheran Northwest is the teachers. Without them, I would not be where I am today, who I am today. Their support is often unparalleled, and so many of them show the deepest Christian kindness. Even those who are not teachers but who work at LHNW in a different capacity are absolutely wonderful, including my drama director and my basketball coach from freshman and sophomore years. All of these people have served and continue to serve as excellent mentors who are always willing to listen and who are committed to helping young people grow into educated and Christ-oriented young adults.
