La Lumiere School Celebrates Class of 2024 at the 57th Annual Commencement Ceremony
La Porte, Ind. – La Lumiere School celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2024 with a memorable commencement ceremony held on May 24th in Marsch Gymnasium. The event marked a significant milestone for the graduates, their families, and the school community, highlighting years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
Prior to forty-seven La Lumiere graduates walking across the stage to receive their diplomas, Joseph C. Linnen ‘84, a lifelong learner and La Lumiere alumni delivered an uplifting commencement address to the class of 2024.

No job solves all your problems. Only worry about the things you can control, and leave the rest to God.”
