LANCERS FOR LIFE The Gibbons family has a deep connection with Orange Lutheran, one that it plans to maintain for life.
For all that Orange Lutheran means to the Gibbons family, Mike Gibbons was able to sum up their feelings in one sentence. “We see Orange Lutheran as a Christian family that also runs a high school.” The Gibbons family is a longtime supporter, advocate and believer when it comes to OLu. Mike and wife Kristen sent three children through the school - all of whom have graduated - but still remain as involved as possible for one simple reason.

“OLu fits into our own faith walk as a family,” Mike said. And it’s that mentality that Mike and Kristen can’t seem to forget, as they watch their three children move through college and beyond, using God as their guide and the lessons they learned as a family at OLu as the backdrop. Before Mike and Kristen sent their first son, Matt Gibbons ‘07, to OLu in 2003, they searched for a high school that filled their most important requirement: that it be a loving environment. Orange Lutheran fit the bill.
