Welcome Saints Parents
Welcome and Upcoming Events
Engagement (noun) - The feeling of being involved in a particular activity or community.
We are excited to get to know each other and we encourage you to be involved in God’s amazing work on campus and in the lives of our wonderful community.
Your Crean Lutheran experience will be directly related to how much you connect with our Saints Community. All parents are encouraged to get involved with one or more of the parent volunteer opportunities listed below. High school is amazing but sometimes it's unpredictable. Getting to know other parents is a wonderful way to make the very best of these high school years.
Take the next step to meet your fellow Saints parents and make new friends — we are all in this together!

This is Crean Lutheran High School's largest engagement event of the year and a wonderful opportunity to Proclaim Jesus Christ through Excellence in Education. This year, we hosted our Treasure the Truth Benefit on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at the beautiful Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach. Each year, there are many ways to get involved, such as decorating, donation procurement, packaging and wrapping auction baskets/items, event promotion, and connecting with other Crean Lutheran families. Committee meetings begin in the Fall of each year. Please email Wendy Foy if you are interested in joining our 2026 Treasure the Truth Committee.
