Jack Habegger Named Barnabas Award Recipient Jack Habegger has been announced as the recipient for the 2025 Concordia Lutheran High School Barnabas Award The gift of encouragement is a beautiful fruit of the Spirit, and we all need it in our faith and daily lives. Thirty-nine years ago, the Class of 1986 stood where today's seniors now stand-ready to graduate and face new challenges. Wanting to leave a legacy at Concordia Lutheran High School, they created the Barnabas Award, named after the biblical encourager. In 2020, it was renamed the Richard W. Moellering Senior Barnabas Award to honor the Class of 1959 alumnus, who valued citizenship and servant leadership. The award includes a permanent plaque displayed at Concordia and a personal plaque for the recipient. The inscription reads: "Barnabas was a missionary and co-worker of St. Paul. His name means 'encourager,' which defined his ministry of service. At Concordia, we claim 'Christ is the center of our lives.' This award, a gift from the Class of 1986, honors a student whose life reflects that creed." Ten seniors were nominated this year: Gwen Burch Evan Gerig Jack Habegger Emma Latin Sierra Luttik Carson Nix Will Schlegel Naomi Weber Landon Willard Yabi Yidnekachew Throughout May, we've celebrated students using their God-given talents in academics, the arts, athletics, and more. This award, however, honors a student who encourages others with humility and heart-often behind the scenes. To the nominees: You've each impacted lives through your quiet encouragement. Some of you were nominated by more than one person. Thank you. As outlined by the Class of 1986, the selection committee includes four faculty members, four seniors, and one member of the class of '86. Their joyful yet difficult task was to read inspiring nominations and choose just one honoree. On behalf of the Class of 1986, we are proud to present the 40th Richard W. Moellering Senior Barnabas Award to Mr. Jack Habegger. Here's what was said about Jack: "He lives out Christ's love by putting others first-helping with anything from sending a simple email to lightening someone's load." "From a young age, Jack has served with his heart. He never misses a chance to help someone in need." "He volunteers without hesitation and follows through on every commitment." "Jack has a gift for seeing opportunities to help-and acting on them. Many have been blessed by his quiet service." Jack is the third in his family to receive this award, following his father, Bill (1990), and his brother, Michael (2022). It is the prayer of the Class of 1986 that this award continues to reflect the spirit of Concordia-living and serving in the love of Jesus. May we all go and encourage someone in their faith today.
