LCMS academic coach Doris Jean Holleran said very few students across the state make it to state competition in two different areas. 

Holleran thanks the ALES teachers for the use of their classrooms; Amber Thurman, Kathy Ross, Rex Hanson, Amy Loyall, Sarah Thomas, Corey Keith, Shari Mabe and Jerry Lawler; and LCMS academic team students and parents for their role in making the District 43 competition a success.
