Principal Phil Leyrer Accepts New Call

At the conclusion of the 2022-23 school year, Principal Phil Leyrer will join the WELS Southeastern Wisconsin District Presidium in support of the district schools.

The WLHS Conference thanks Principal Leyrer for his service from 2015-2023.

Leyrer has served in the ministry for more than 40 years. Prior to WLHS, he was principal at Siloah Lutheran School in Milwaukee and spent ten years in the English department and administration at MLC.

“The WLHS story is one of God’s providence throughout many generations, and the chief hallmark of his favor is the way he has kept this school-based ministry’s focus on its foundation of Jesus Christ. To be given just a small role to play in this rich history is a deep privilege and gift from God. May God preserve Wisco’s Christcenteredness as the most high-profile and influential blessing among the many he has provided.” — Principal Phil Leyrer
