This year 23 students will graduate with an MLC master’s degree – 15 from our Master of Science in Education program and eight from our Master of Science in Educational Administration program, including our first three graduates from the early childhood emphasis.

The graduates of our master’s programs are an example of faithful service for those receiving their bachelor’s degrees and an inspiration for all current master’s degree students.

We thank God for their dedication and pray the Lord uses their professional development and commitment for the building up of his kingdom.

This year’s graduates are . . .
