Fort Wayne families and neighbors have a new opportunity to see the future of Concordia Lutheran High School up close. Beginning Wednesday, September 23, the school will open its campus for a series of free, guided construction tours that run every Wednesday at 6 p.m. through November 18.
What visitors will see
Each tour will showcase the most recent phases of the A Bold Step project, the largest facilities improvement effort in the school’s history. Participants will walk through the newly finished main office and a student lounge that overlooks the gymnasium, then move on to portions of the new academic wing and the chapel‑auditorium, which is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion.
Because the tours take place in active construction zones, the exact areas open to the public may shift from week to week depending on progress and safety considerations. The school has emphasized that all visitors must wear hard hats and safety vests while in construction zones, and that closed‑toe shoes and appropriate clothing are required.
How to join
Registration is required and limited to ten people per session, ensuring a manageable group size for safety and a more personal experience. Interested residents can sign up through the school’s website or by contacting the administration directly. The tours are free of charge, reflecting Concordia Lutheran’s commitment to community engagement and transparency.
Why the tours matter
Beyond showcasing the physical upgrades, the tours serve as a tangible reminder of the school’s dedication to providing a modern, faith‑centered learning environment for its students. The new academic spaces are designed to support advanced curricula, while the expanded chapel‑auditorium will enhance worship and community events.
Local leaders have praised the project as a boost to Fort Wayne’s educational infrastructure. By inviting the public onto the construction site, Concordia Lutheran underscores the partnership between the school and the broader community, inviting families to share in the excitement of the school’s growth.
